Thank You Christine. I have always believed in the old addage, ‘it all starts at home’. Both parents must be involved with their children. That is how they learn the life skills nessessary to interact with others properly. Dad teaches boys how to act as men should and he teaches the girls of the family what she should and should not accept in a man as proper and respectful.

A father of three boys.
