Doug’s September 11t Resources for Children
Courtesy
of Crayola.com: Many of us as parents and educators have
special challenges in dealing with our own personal feelings while at the same
time trying to help children deal with their fears and grief. The following
links may help parents and educators who work with children. The Helping
Children Cope section provides child development
guidance for these difficult times. The Care & Share Card Program provides
children with an outlet to express their thoughts and feelings. The cards
children create and send to the Crayola.com Care & Share Card Program will
be forwarded to hospitals and rescue workers. We suggest that the Care and
Share Card Program be used with adults and school age children, not
preschoolers.

America was started by the Welch sisters so they, as kids, could

2001 with a total of $84,000 in profits.
