By their very nature children are more sensitive to pesticides than adults. A child’s body continues to grow until 18 but their brain and nervous system are under development until the age of 25.

Hunger is no longer a third world problem. Wealthy countries are facing the fact that an ever-growing number of their citizens are food insecure. Imagine opening your refrigerator and finding it empty. Imagine opening your kitchen cabinets and having no food. Sadly, that’s the reality for 50 million United States citizens; they don’t know where their next meal is coming from. That includes over 15 million children and 3 million senior citizens. In Canada, food banks are assisting more people than ever before – 867,948 in March 2010 in a country of roughly 35 million. Thirty-eight percent of these are children.

You see, with dogs, their reactions to our energy and their environment are immediate and very hard to ignore. I thought I had a handle on the atmosphere of our home and the vibe of our family, until Max came along. Soon, I realized we had become a bit complacent, settling for less than calmness and serenity.

Sure, parents and other adults who influence our children believe they are teaching them right from wrong; unfortunately, many do not realize the impact they have on young minds with the words they use. What we say matters and too often people rely upon traditional sayings, handed down generation after generation, as parenting tools.
