. . . True or False? Children who are read to when they are young do better in school. True or False? All parents can read well . . .
-
. . . Kids who want to be like television characters whose lives are so much 'more exciting' than their own may not be developing the abilities to create the lives they say they'd like to lead . . . If kids watch television because they already know their own lives will never be as exciting, they see themselves at a DISADVANTAGE.
-
. . . True or False? You want the child who grows up to become a garbageman to be yours. . . . garbagemen are in many ways more important than doctors. Doctors help people get well after they get sick. Garbagemen help create an environment where ALL of us can stay as healthy as possible . . .
-
. . . True or False? Children who feel they can achieve in their lives and who feel valued and respected are more likely to remain physically, mentally and emotionally healthy throughout their lives . . . True, true, true, true, true . . . because they are NOT at a DISADVANTAGE!
