Dear Friend,

Until now, I have carefully kept politics out of my writing. I believe in a Transformative Parenting® experience which is open to everyone, and did not want to risk offending anyone who might try it.

However, this is an unusual situation, which demands that we all speak out to make our voices heard.

The current U.S. Government policy of separating children from their parents at the border is simply intolerable. For those of us who nurture empathic connections between adults and children, understanding the pain we as a nation are inflicting on these children arouses strong, painful emotions.

Not everyone feels the same way. I understand that for some of you who read this, coming to the United States without permission requires punishment as a deterrent.

However, it is my strong belief that inflicting pain and suffering on innocent children is a wrong which rises above any other consideration, and it must be stopped.

For those of you who are Christians, and confused by Biblical teachings about this, I have written a summary of what Jesus has to say on the matter here.

I have been posting regularly on this topic here and my social media sites, trying to motivate others to do what they can to reverse this terrible policy. I hope you will do the same.
