“As summertime rolls around, classrooms begin to empty, and homes and neighborhoods fill up with children. I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for the little ones of this world.

If they are not noticed or cared for, the problem will be compounded and become more difficult to sort through in later years.

That is why I find it so important for parents and teachers to be educated about mental health.”(more)
