TOLLAND, Conn., May 12, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- "Tumbleweed Kids" by Pamela Reynolds has over forty heart wrenching stories about children caught in situations beyond their control. The stories tug at the heart while providing clear examples of the huge effect parents have on their children. I challenge anyone to read "Tumbleweed Kids" and not be profoundly changed. "Tumbleweed Kids" is helpful to parents, teachers, administrators and anyone else working with children. It is not as instructive as it is an explanation told on a deeper emotional level, the burdens we unconsciously place on children. I can almost guarantee most parents and teachers may alter and change their ways of nurturing children. "Tumbleweed Kids" presents the children's side of the story.

Speaking for the children is important to me. Family life is deteriorating. This has created a domino effect. Many educational books and parenting books have been written. These books that give excellent advice have been ignored, because things are worse. Words have not solved the problems which keep increasing. It is time to look at this dilemma with new eyes. Our challenge as parents is to look at the facts. Fearlessly we need to move ahead and review the evidence, before making any conclusions. New revelations within the pages of "Tumbleweed Kids," may encourage us to reconsider what we thought was the truth about children and education.

Society has left out these key ingredients: mother and father. Success comes from the love and nurturing at home. Teachers can't teach without parental support. Society can't reteach or rehabilitate broken children easily, or possibly ever. "Tumbleweed Kids" relates how children thrive in poor circumstances with the love and support from parents. We love our children. Placing children's needs first is imperative.

I have worked with children my entire life. Pam has a dual certification in special education and elementary education. She has witnessed the stresses children endure.

Peoples' hearts will break when reading "Tumbleweed Kids," but minds will be open to an alternative way of thinking and solving academic and social problems. Stopping the unconscious mistreatment of children is the goal of "Tumbleweed Kids." By stopping some harmful choices we make, children improve emotionally and academically. It is worth the determination for all of us to make an effort.
