Nancy Thomas Seminar













It was fantastic! She is one energetic lady with a heart for children. I learned so much I can put into practice with my own kids. My husband and I had some time without the kids AND it is so great to see a room with about 225 people all there to learn about RAD. The first picture is of the Redwood Falls. We would have loved to have explored some of the trails but it was raining the whole time we were there. Nancy told a story of how children learn to see God. Most children learn like our dogs. We provide for them, feed them, shelter them, so they see us as God and then learn their view of God based on that. A child with RAD is like a cat. We provide for them, feed them, and shelter them so THEY must be God. Those first few years of life are so vital to our children having a healthy outlook on life. Above are photos of my dogs Nellie and Madison and our cat Caesar. They are roll playing. Well not really, but it works.

Man - Nail on the head. I may have to recount the number of RAD cases I have in this house. It's like Greek mythology around here.

I love your silky little pups. Very cute!
