Parents need a village of support — You can’t be everything to everybody. It takes a village.

Re-seeding – giving back — Giving back

Discovering who I am — The most important thing you can have is a sense of themselves, who they are. How they fit in, how they fit into the play group. How they fit in with the elders. How they fit in in every way.

Passion and energy — You want the passion and energy. Violence is what you don’t want.

Respecting individual learning styles — One of the most important things they can think about is that parents will never lose their parenthood. And if we had started fifty years ago helping parents know how to advocate for their kid and the energy of the kid the world would be a different place. Schools would be different.

Bombarded with information – too little knowledge — Parents have been bombarded with so much information, not knowledge. They don’t have the knowledge about children that I had, that I brought to my children. They are scared. They’re frightened. They don’t know who to listen to.
