I hope everyone is doing well. We received our first review on GoodReads from Soothing Rays who is a book blogger that reviews books. Here is an excerpt from her review – “My favourite part of the book was the author’s own story, which comes towards the end of the book. It was really inspiring, and I feel that everyone will have something they can take away from this book. It’s a hidden gem.” You can read the full review on GoodReads.

Lady Linda also put a profile up on Bookbub for me yesterday. We are just trying to get the message of You’re Amazing And I’ll Prove It! out to as many places as we can. Have a great week!

Now for the story:

My late wife Deb and I were having trouble getting our 4-year-old son David to behave. In order to solve this problem, we asked a local pre-school to come into our home and help us. At the same time, we enrolled David in their school, Children’s Express. He attended Children’s Express five days a week. Obviously, all the children at Children’s Express had rules they had to follow. But how do you get a 4-year-old misbehaved child to follow the rules?

First, they had to teach him the rules. I know this sounds obvious, but let’s face it, if he doesn’t learn the rules, he can’t follow them. However, shouldn’t every school make sure all the rules were known. So, knowing the rules wasn’t what changed his behavior.

The thing that led to David’s behavior changing was the next thing Children’s Express did. Children’s Express was not just a school for children who had a behavior problem. It was a school which helped children with any kind of physical or mental problem. They had kids that were in wheelchairs, children with epilepsy that wore helmets, children with Autism who could not speak. You name the challenge; they had children who had it.
