In our turbulent and fast-paced world, more parents than ever are looking for advice how to raise emotionally and physically healthy children.
March 26, 2006 (Press Release) --
Do you have an unusual child, who displays anger, is shy, talkative, always seeking something new, ready to be challenged, or is lackadaisical, and you do not know how to satisfy and bring out the best in him/her?
Raising children today is a completely different challenge than it was a short generation ago. The parenting advice and tips that were so effective thirty years ago are often irrelevant to the twenty-first-century parent. Due to rapid technological and social changes, children are facing radically different issues than their parents faced during their childhood.
When baby boomers were in school in the 1950’s and 1960's, the top problems faced by teachers included chewing gum in class and running in the hallways. In stark contrast, today's top issues being confronted by modern teachers are drug abuse and teen pregnancy. The alarming pace with which society and technology has developed, leaves many parents scrambling to find the best method to raise their children in the year 2006.
"Parents today are bombarded with information about parenting. The fast-paced time in which we live translates into a new generation span occurring every two-to-three years, rather than the traditional generation gap of twenty-to-thirty years. What this means to parents is that the problems that faced their ten-years-old child three years ago are vastly different than the issues that will be facing their second child who is ten-years-old now,” says Ellen C. Braun.
Mrs. Braun is a mother of three children living with her husband in Baltimore, MD. "My husband is a high school principal," Braun says. "I have attended many conventions and conferences devoted to education and parenting. For a while, I had my notes and personal observations in a notebook, and then the thought occurred to me: Why not share these gems of advice with parents worldwide?"
To alleviate the modern pressures that parents and children alike face in this unprecedented time of instant communication and information, Braun has shared her notebook of valuable ideas worldwide by launching www.RaisingSmallSouls.com, a website where educators and parents can turn for timeless and effective parenting skills. She draws on modern approaches promulgated by psychologists and teachers, as well as the ancient wisdom contained in the words of bygone eras. Her concern for the success of each individual child as well as the parent forms the basis for her pointed and personal solutions to each problem.
"The 'Animal School' movie shown on the home page of the website has attracted enthusiastic reviews from parents, teachers, principals, and even students!" Braun expounds. "The purpose of the movie is to open parents' minds the crucial concept of understanding that each child is a unique individual, and therefore must be dealt with in a manner that emphasizes his/her strengths."
Parents are encouraged to sign up for RaisingSmallSouls’ newsletter, that will feature timely and practical parenting tips, to help them raise their children to be the best they can be. “As parents,” Braun concludes, “The next generation of civilization is a responsibility lying in our hands.”
