EDUCATIONAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL RESOURCE CENTER

FROM EILEEN STEIN, DIRECTOR:

​

For our children, living as adults in the 21st century is going to be remarkably different from what it was for us growing up in the 20th century.  Like the difference between growing up in the 19th and the 20th centuries.  Or maybe not like that at all.  The truth is, it is very much up to us—those of us who are adults NOW—to decide.  Will there be even greater progress or will humanity once again lapse into a period of darkness from which it will again take eons to recover? 

​

 

OUR MISSION:

Whether we are a stay-at-home mom, a teacher, a corporate executive, or a politician... whether we are honest or corrupt, prince or pauper, cruel or kind, most of us want what’s best for our children.  Our company has been created out of a need for people who raise and care for today’s children to adequately prepare them for living as adults in a whole new world.  We know the direction that humanity is heading if many things don’t change.  Yet old habits die hard and we ARE passing many of these on to our children already:  including parental absentia (emotional and physical), careless use of our natural resources, poor eating habits, an out-dated public education system, hatred and judgment of others, using allopathic (symptomatic) medication as a first recourse for most ailments AND for children not responding well to the outdated school system...the list could go on, but these are some of the things our company is focusing on to bring about an awakening, a cleansing, and a transformation of priorities in our society.  It must begin with those of us who interact with children on a daily basis and set the examples for them.  We must be ever mindful of what we are passing on.

 

To help fulfill this need, we have created an organized database of links that hopefully will answer questions and lead people to solutions regarding our beautiful children. We welcome your submissions and other input!
