 I appreciate these forums on Facebook for local school communities (such as one discussing Region One CT school issues) since back in the day in the 1990s and 2000s, I had many concerns even at the grade school level..and felt I was running into brick walls with administration.

Likely every grade level and age group needs a set of volunteer responsible adults and parents to monitor how the children are doing to help them meet minimal learning requirements in addition to whatever is formally taught and required...
Falling behind is not an option for passing onto the next grade level and who

CT Home Care Program for Elders: A Gem Worth Knowing About (1-800-445-5394)

Lucky me, I learned about the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders run through the DSS Alternate Care Unit. Their number for information is 800-445-5394.The pamphlet I picked up reviews some basic 'facts of life' such as nursing home care costing many tens of thousands of dollars a year. When the booklet was printed it was "$60,000 and up". Those might seem like bargain prices in 2018, where monthly fees can easily top 10K in CT so that would mean an annual cost of a smooth $120,000 and Up!

This post is Basically a Summary of the Booklet, not my own insights (unless indicated and not

To another Mom whose son passed in 2009...as well as many others I haven't met (yet) but trust we connect at the heart level

I shared this with a friend who I've known since I was a kid...whose teen son passed in a difficult way unexpectedly about a month before our teen son passed. Since then I've met many mothers who lose custody or access to their children. They refer to 'losing their kids' which is thankfully not about having them die. I think some clarification would be helpful but the pain is real, as though their children were taken 'for good'. Groups called Mothers of Lost Children and the CA Protective Parents Alliance have worked to promote Resolution 72.
 
That would help protective parents, generally

Before the final moments of Mother's Day go by I wanted to cheer us all on in our mothering and othering efforts, including doing some good self care and appreciation. I put a lot in the title so I can keep this short. I've actually been running a bit short on sleep and doing extra care-giving so that's part of why I won't wax poetic into the midnight hours about all things Motherhood, from women to others who nurture people, pets, critters, plants and pacha mama (Mother Earth.)

See a book by Laurie Lisle (yes a nice local person I am fortunate to know) who wrote about not being a mother

 While we have many things to tend to when it comes to rearing The Next Generation as a Society from maternal health and infant and child care whether at home or in care centers, schools, and faith groups and wider parts of a community (libraries, parks and recreation programs and all things basic to making a good home), The Courts Rule and too many protective mothers and children play the fool to corrupt or inept judges, attorneys, guardians ad litems (kind of a funny name and abbreviated as ...wait for it...GALs!) and mental health professionals and child protective services and family
