Welcome

To follow the educators blog visit educator-parentfusion.blogspot.com



It is an exciting time to be raising kids, although that does not make it simple by any means.

Your comments and opinions are greatly appreciated. We are here to discuss ideas (old and new) in both education and parenting. I believe there is a very important triad in childrearing that consists of the child/adolescent, the parent(s) and educator(s). My goal is to provide avenues for continuous support and communication between all three. For it is in the care and nurturing of all three participants that the hope for the future lies. No one element of this triad can carry all of the weight. All three must be supported in order to relieve the perceptions of stress and achieve balance.

I am excited that you have found this blog - I hope you find some intriguing and empowering thoughts that inspire you to join the conversation and help me spread inspiration, energy and ideas to everyone involved in this vitally important link to our future (is there anyone who is not connected in some way?!) We have lots to do!


I look forward to many inspirational discussions.

Children in need

Today I found an awesome organization (that I am actually applying for a position with - wish me luck!) that exists solely for the children!  They have such great goals and values, all focused on children who are in need of support and empowerment just to exist.  There are so many children, to include those who live in poverty in rural parts of the United States, who need assistance because their own governments and families (due to extreme socioeconomic conditions) are failing them.
Check them out: http://www.savethechildren.org/site/c.8rKLIXMGIpI4E/b.6146405/k.C7E9/About_Us.htm?__utma=1.734010751.1271082600
This link takes you straight to their 'about us' page.  If it doesn't go to www.savethechildren.org  and tell me what you think.
