A SAFE PLACE
In a safe place, people are kind.
Sarcasm, fighting, backbiting and name-calling
are exceptions. Kindness,
consideration and forgiveness
are the usual way of life.
In a safe place there is laughter;
not just the laughter of TV but real laughter
that comes from sharing meaningful work and
play.
In
a safe place there are rules.
These rules are few and fair and made by the people
who live and work there, including the children.
In a safe place, people listen
to one another.
They
care about one another and they show that they do.
- Mary MacCraken
author
of Turnabout Children

Is your home a “safe
place” ... a peaceful place,
... for the entire family ?
