Thank you for your wise insights, Carol. I agree that these fast-paced times are divisive and difficult. School curriculum is challenging too. Parents who choose their children over their jobs, make a good choice. Their kids are family. Their jobs are not. Youngsters don't fire their parents but employers do. Quality time guiding children is time well-spent. It's the best path toward character building.

Hi Dr. Sally, I've read your books. They give parents a wealth of ideas and fun with their babies, toddlers, and 3-year-olds. Your books lay the foundation for self-esteem, security, and love. I'm thrilled to know this started with Norman Vincent Peale's book, The Power of Positive Thinking. Positive thinking did lead to your positive action of being an author. Wow!
