<p>Join <b>Paul W. Reeves, Ed.D</b> - a longtime teacher and school principal, and the father of three children - and his guests, as they discuss the world of parenting your children, from birth through age 100! Also included are excerpts and discussions of Paul's parenting book, "<b>A PRINCIPAL'S FAMILY PRINCIPLES - Raising Your Kids to Be Happy and Healthy, While Enjoying Them to the Fullest</b>".</p> <p>On today's show, in addition to reading the chapter, "<b>Music + Son + Dad = Victory!<i>"</i></b> from his book, sharing wisdom from others, and a bit of humor, Paul played Part 1 of his interview with <b><i>SHANNON ADDISON.</i></b></p> <p><b><i></i>SHANNON ADDISON</b>, the developer of "<b><i>Breadcrumbz</i></b>" is all about anti-bullying, with a focus on girls. Her books and characters are created to assist girls and their parents to recognize what is going on; developing a strategy; and then implementing that strategy to achieve success and care for all. </p> <p><b>FROM HER WEBSITE:</b></p> <p><i>"Shannon Addison is a “work-at-home” mom, military spouse, and mother of two amazing girls. Her mother (who was a teacher for 25 years) inspired her to create a product line that would positively impact the lives of children.</i></p> <p><i>Her mom believed that everyone is given a voice to use for whatever purpose each person intends to pursue. The challenge, she said, was finding a way to use your voice for good. For Shannon, this is her voice.</i></p> <p><i>Raising girls has provided a lot of insight about what lessons are important during the most critical growth years. Today there are a lot of products on the market that promote self-esteem, but not many that really target self-acceptance.</i></p> <p><i>Throughout this journey with each of the Breadcrumbz, girls are not only shown how to acknowledge who they are with their own shortcomings or flaws, but are guided through a process that suggests </i><b><i>how to embrace</i></b><i> them and to celebrate the difference they make in their lives."</i><
