Dr. Scott reminded us that whatever we produce for the next millenium will be through our children. P is for Physical development encompassing such things as immunizations and the general physical well-being of children. I is for Intellectual development and includes both formal and informal education. P is for Psychological development. It begins with the family, but must be met by society, as well.
E is for Emotional development and also for Economic development.
Welfare reform effects our children most and children have no control over what will happen. Economic and emotional development are mixed together. We consider people on welfare one way, but accept that big corporations may need and or want a handout. R is for Recreation. Recreation is not entertainment, but the child's opportunity to recreate him or herself.
