I have been very busy throughout my life studying and promoting this subject of the needs and well-being of children. Most of my early years were spent acquiring both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in psychology, bringing up my own two children and teaching special education. 

Later I started my own magazine about the needs of children to distribute to all those who work with children: teachers, medical experts, recreational organizations, and parents. We had an advisory board of experts from across the country who supplied us with the latest information on a range of children’s issues.

Now, I have the opportunity of looking back and sifting through all of the information acquired over my 96 years — and thinking, lots of thinking about what makes sense in the lives of children. Each week I plan to share my thinking in a blog with you.

My first blog will be about confidence. Confidence is essential for everything we do from taking our first step to applying for college. Who has it, where do we get it, how do we encourage it in our children?
