Stopping at Every Lemonade Stand: How to Create a Culture That Cares for Kids Paperback - 2001

by James Vollbracht

In the tradition of the bestselling "It Takes a Village" comes a practical guide for creating a child-friendly world. Through a rich blend of anecdotes and creative practice strategies, this book affirms the age-old wisdom that the power and responsibility to heal communities rest in everyone's hands.


Summary

Children's lives today are complex, stressful, and dangerous. Kids are overscheduled, come home to empty houses and neighborhoods where they don't know a soul, and in school, face violence-all too often from their peers. In Stopping at Every Lemonade Stand, James Vollbracht provides a blueprint for transforming our unstable and disconnected culture into a healthier, supportive one. Vollbracht bases his approach on six overlapping circles of community-our personal circle, families, neighborhoods, larger communities, business worlds, and elders-and outlines simple actions within each circle that will help rescue our kids. Through a rich blend of heartwarming anecdotes and creative, practical strategies, Stopping at Every Lemonade Stand affirms the age-old wisdom that the power and responsibility to heal our communities rest in our own hands.

First line

"When I was growing up in Seattle, after our family dinner I'd head outside, play until dark, and not go home until Dad stood out on the front porch and whistled or hollered for me to come in."
