The Children Speak: The Age That I Am (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781964810607)

This book is the Author's poetic testimony regarding the Mindfulness of the children, with respect to a total commitment for promoting and understanding the needs, wants and desires of the children. This commitment, if successful, must entail participation by all concerned entities, to include the parents, the so-called village, and a well-meaning society, collectively. The Author recognizes and acknowledges that there must be elements of kindness, respect, teachings, firmness, and corrective order. All involved must have a united hope for the children's peace and prosperity. Additionally, the book takes an approach that might view the children's spirituality, or lack thereof, along with encouragement to self-evaluate their own pursuit of their dreams and happiness, despite the challenges that the children face in their social lives and individual journey or plight in pursuit of Life and oftentimes pressures unfavorable faced in daily Living. Notwithstanding, this book is the Author's concerted effort to uplift and inspire, while empathizing with seemingly inevitable impediments to children's success, maturation and healthy growth.
