For Child Professionals
Too often, when working with children, we don’t see fathers and
stepfathers as allies or resources. The reason is that too many
fathers abandon or abuse their relationships and obligations to
their children.
But MOST fathers and stepfathers do not abdicate that responsibility.
The more we can include these men (and those who are teetering on
the edge), the more resources we have to help children.

America the Beautiful
In 2004, Americans spent
$12.4 billion (yes, billion!) on cosmetic surgery. The real costs
of our obsession with youth, beauty and a slender physique are tallied in an
epidemic of eating disorders, complications and deaths from unnecessary
surgeries, exposure to dangerous toxins in cosmetics, and the equally toxic
effects on a generation of young people who are told–in some 40,000 media
messages a year–that unless you look like the supermodels and rock stars, you’re
not good enough for anyone to love. It’s a message too many of them are buying.
