Stopping At Every Lemonade Stand: How to Create a Culture That Cares for Kids By James Vollbracht
Stopping at Every Lemonade Stand offers a wealth of ideas and suggestions on how we can reconnect our culture and turn it into a safe and nurturing environment for our children to grow-up.
James Vollbracht’s common sense research is based around the 6 interconnected circles of community: personal, families, neighborhoods, larger communities, business worlds, and elders; and offers simple actions that each of us can take to support our children in need.
He shows us how the power of one person can start a quiet revolution toward healing our broken communities and helping children at risk.
For example in the chapter “Connecting the Neighborhood Dots”, Mr Vollbracht lists,
Five Easy Ways you can create a Kid-Friendly Neighborhood:
- Agree to abide by neighborhood speed limits and post “Slow” signs.
- Buy whatever kids who come to your door are selling.
- Put up an adjustable basketball hoop so kids and adults can gather, shoot hoops, and have fun
- Take your kids with you when you help out a senior (shovel a walk, buy groceries).
- Set out a bench on your front porch and engage kids who pass by to visit with you.
