Children Learn What They Live

I did a series of classes in psychology (at the institute), ... The students that came to that class had children. And over a period of a few years, they decided they wanted a nursery school, a play group (to watch over their children while they were studying). So in one of the garages that was near where we were having the classes, we established a play group area and the students volunteered to supervise. That eventually led to building a state-licensed nursery school, which was approved by the California department of social welfare.

I had a good extended family, ... There were several aunts and uncles who were really interested in the family. And our neighbors were great. There were kids on either side of where we lived. It was a fairly large community.

We're all interdependent and we have a planetary family,

I have encouraged my children from the get-go to sleep on the airplane or in a car, whatever mode of transportation we're using. I remind them that they will be happy that they have slept because they will have lots of energy to explore

We wanted to educate some of the parents, and also children, about the kind of abuses there are.
