I enjoy hearing what people think about Louisiana’s children and their well-being. I encourage you to share your comments and questions with me. At times, I may take a little while to respond to you, but I will try to reply as soon as possible. If it seems like too much time passes before you hear from me, I apologize. Please do not take it personally.

what’s my site about?
Here, I share interesting links to information about children, child welfare, and child well-being. I hope the material here inspires your thinking about Louisiana’s children and how we can make Louisiana a better place to be a child.
You ask, “How can this website inspire my thinking about Louisiana’s children and child well-being?” That’s a good question.
For me, it works like this. When I read about the conditions of children in other places, I ask myself, “on that matter, how are we doing in Louisiana?”
Thinking about Louisiana’s children and their well-being is not always a positive experience. Nonetheless, all of us in Louisiana must engage our hearts, minds, intentions, and actions to improve the well-being of our children.
I hope the information I share helps you see that problems exist and that better ways forward are possible. And sometimes, a news article from elsewhere may pop a moment of relief for you such as, “Wow! I’m glad we do not have that problem!”
In my mind, anytime we are thinking about Louisiana’s children and child well-being and considering ways to improve the well-being of children in Louisiana, we are engaged in good work to improve Louisiana for children now, and consequently, for all of Louisiana in the future.
