I am a mother, a poet,a philosopher, a teacher, a friend, and a wee little speck in this universe of ours. I live in rural Southwestern Ontario, Canada and I love it here. I love the outdoors, camping to be specific, and would love to spend my days at a cabin beside a lake, watching the water, listening to the loons, and smelling the pine needles and wet leaves after a fall rain. I am the mother of two amazing children, or I should say young adults. Besides being a parent, I am an Early Childhood Educator, and currently work as a support to parents and caregivers of young children.
Children are our future, but they are also our present.
Let us not forget to let them be 'kids', enjoying this part of their life. Help them explore, question, and discover. Give them the tools to develop their curiosity and create friendships and partnerships in this world of ours.
