Invitations were sent to those who attended the 1992 conference for a five year reunion meeting held October 16, 1997. From a mailing to over 1100 names in our original files, more than 140 individuals responded to the invitation by indicating their interest in becoming actively involved in children's issues. 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.
