Promise to my Grandson

Welcome, Everyone!

Our 6 month old grandson loves life, and why shouldn't he? He is being raised by parents who love each other dearly and stick together in their parenting of him. He is adored by cousins, aunts, uncles, and all of his grandparents (except I can't possibly limit my feelings for him to JUST adored!). Friends of all of his family members dote on that little guy as if he were their personal entertainment center.

In every direction, our grandson is surrounded by relationships that lift him up, accept him unconditionally, challenge him to grow, provide peaceful connections and support his journey. So far, he has been enveloped by the best of our world. My wish for him, and all of his little buddies, is that their world will keep the best and discard the worst. Wouldn't that be marvelous?!

So, you might say, "What are you going to do about that?" Since I am only in charge of me, this is my promise to him: I promise to provide knowledge that people need to relate with others. I will do my part to encourage people all over to practice those skills that establish more and more support, acceptance,  challenge, peaceful interactions and lifting up.

I've started  to fulfill that promise by writing a book designed to help teachers create super relationships in their classroom- Reviving Classrooms with CPR-Creating Productive Relationships. Just for you, and your little buddies, my sweet grandson! "Nonna"
