From the Heart: Cultivating Growth for Your Loved One

Growth
Daylight savings time…. not daylight savings time……either way, why does one single, simple hour tend to mess up an entire day? But mess up it does. That first morning after we reset our clocks can be a real struggle to get going. And as I sat there trying to clear the “fog” from my mind, I was ever-so-gently reminded what it must be like for our special loved ones EVERY day. Not that I don’t think of it daily (which I do), but it was simply reinforced on that day. It usually takes a few days for my family’s internal clocks to get “re-synced” ….and eventually everything settles back down.
So, in keeping with a theme of “change, at first, is unsettling, but, in time, we can all adapt”, this issue is about cultivating growth: growth from new experiences like Summer Camps; growth from learning about ways we can protect our loved ones by better understanding Body Safety; and growth from better understanding how we can motivate our loved ones.
These three topics are covered in this issue with wonderfully insightful articles from some of our contributing writers. As usual, there is much more for you to read about, and I trust you will.
Enjoy the Spring Season, the wonderful change of weather, and the sense of renewal that this time of year brings.
All the best,
