It is easy to tell that you have raised your children to know the pit falls of America Marketing…but is every child so lucky?

We are in an economic era where both parents need to work and a lot of children today are sitting in front of the TV and computer…Looking for heroes and guidance? Not all children are as fortunate as yours.

I know, I was impressed with Michael Phelps achievements and I see him a top athlete. However…

Your comments are always welcome and I hope to see and hear from you soon on BBAC
