b'
Join Paul W. Reeves, Ed.D - a longtime teacher and school principal, and the father of three children - and his guests, as they discuss the world of parenting your children, from birth through age 100! Also included are excerpts and discussions of Paul\'s parenting book, "A PRINCIPAL\'S FAMILY PRINCIPLES - Raising Your Kids to Be Happy and Healthy, While Enjoying Them to the Fullest".
\\n\\nOn today\'s show, in addition to reading the chapter, "Cross Country? - WHY?" from his book, sharing wisdom from others, and a bit of humor, Paul played Part 2 of his interview with SHANNON ADDISON.
\\n\\nSHANNON ADDISON,\\xa0the developer of "Breadcrumbz" is all about\\xa0anti-bullying, with a focus on girls. Her books and characters are created to assist girls and their parents to recognize what is going on; developing a\\xa0strategy; and then\\xa0implementing that strategy to achieve\\xa0success and care for all.\\xa0
\\n\\nFROM HER WEBSITE:
\\n\\n"Shannon Addison is a \\u201cwork-at-home\\u201d mom, military spouse, and mother of two amazing girls. Her mother (who was a teacher for 25 years) inspired her to create a product line that would positively impact the lives of children.
\\n\\nHer mom believed that everyone is given a voice\\xa0to use for whatever purpose each person intends to pursue. The challenge, she said, was finding a way to use your voice for good. For Shannon, this is her voice.
\\n\\nRaising girls has provided a lot of insight about what lessons are important during the most critical growth years. Today there are a lot of products on the market that promote self-esteem, but not many that really target self-acceptance.
\\n\\nThroughout this journey with each of the\\xa0Breadcrumbz, girls are not only shown how to\\xa0acknowledge who they are with their own shortcomings or\\xa0flaws, but are guided through a process that suggests\\xa0how to embrace\\xa0them and to celebrate the difference they make in their lives."
