| Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter |
Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are not a product of accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them. Things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. So, I have been considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.
That consideration motivated me to join Jack and Jill of America. Among other things, Jack and Jill of America exists to promote:
Cultural awareness, educational development, health (education and advocacy), civic (legislative advocacy and service) and social/recreational areas. It also has promoted the public awareness and interests of children including child development, child growth, child quality of life, child care and the promotion of children’s rights.
In a word, Jack and Jill exists to help improve the lives of children. Because I am committed to doing that as well, I appreciate the help from the organization as a whole as well as the other mother members in giving my children better lives. Grateful that I took the step to expand my village to include this support.
