What we want

Children want what we all want.

Attention.

Love.

A sense of importance that says I am needed and I can contribute.

We are here to lead the next generation and be its cheering squad so we need to get our priorities straight.

It is not enough to appear to have an affluent life style and act happy. There are too many people living that lie already and none of them are truly content.

Hedonism is an extreme, but joy is not an unattainable life style.  It comes from doing what I love and each of us has something we love that can benefit humanity.

Good parents, good schools, a good education in general takes a child's abilities and makes them proud to have and use them-- whatever they are.
