Enriching the Soil of Your Life
or the “The Gigantic Role Fathers Play in the Development of their Children’s Faith.” By John Stonestreet. [I share this excellent article as encouragement (with permissions from Breakpoint) because we want to see families thrive!]

„Der Gefühlszustand von Kindern ist heutzutage katastrophal! Wenn sie zur Schule kommen, sind die meisten emotional gar nicht dazu in der Lage, etwas zu lernen. Dazu tragen viele Faktoren bei, die von unserem modernen Lebensstil herrühren.“ ~ V.P.
Das, was meine Freundin Victoria Prooday (Ergotherapeutin) in ihrer beruflichen Praxis erlebt, ist so weit verbreitet und alarmierend, dass ich sie darum gebeten habe, ihre Gedanken dazu mit anderen teilen zu dürfen.
