Letter Solana Booth writes to Montel Teacher United Indians Head Start Seattle Washington	Dear Montel, My Christmas wish would be for all the teachers and parents in the world to take Tom Drummond's Modules. If that is too big a wish, could you at least talk to the teachers in my school district? Please have these materials available at no cost. If parents went through the modules, they would better the community and start healing our youth with high self-esteem, empowerment, and respect. This would better our culture and our society in general. Our being with children reflects how we want to be to each other. I will be waiting to hear from you. Thank you Montel. I love your show. Sincerely, Solana Booth
Comments from Participants who have Completed All of the Modules (This is a very small sample. Often people are in tears as they share the change that has transpired in their work with children and their lives at home.)	“I can now provide a fun learning environment for all my kids and teach them to be respectful of themselves and the people and things around them.” “This has not only made me an effective and loving caregiver to the children in my class, it has improved and enriched my relationship with my son and my skills as a parent.” “I am very thankful for having had the opportunity to take these modules. I know I will be a better teacher in the years ahead because of these valuable ideas.” Speaking through tears, a teacher said, “My job is so much easier now, but more importantly, we, all of us, are empowering the children.” “The enlightenment and awareness I have gained has been a transformation to my life.” “These understandings feel like gifts I want to give to everyone.” “I feel as though I just became a part of an exploration into the deep understanding of humankind.” “I take from this a confidence that I can make a difference.” “The four modules have taught me how to be fully present with the children.”
