Incredibly, this is the crisis our kids are in...
Our approach to resolving these issues doesn't
come from theory. It comes from true stories in American history
that can help young people believe in themselves and their
country.
We do it by showcasing the resilience and
triumphs of ordinary individuals who overcame adversity,
inspiring our children to persevere and achieve their own goals.
In the process, something terrific happens that we never
planned on --- a bond is nurtured between the
parent and child. Our homeschoolers love referring to the program
as the...
But first, a reality check and then our
proposed solution.
Only 18
percent of those aged 18-34 are "extremely proud" of
their country.
Parents are expressing frustration that American history is hardly being taught in our schools.
In effect, to believe in themselves and their country. It's the start of less loneliness, depression, anxiety, and suicide.
We bypass the schools and go directly to the parents at home where environments are more likely to be safe.
Dr. Aaron W. of Minnesota says,
"I spent some time this morning watching some of your
videos and they are fantastic! (no surprise). Knowing some
homeschooling moms, I will pass your course along to them."
Today, I invite you to be a part of an urgent and transformative journey that will shape the future of our country by bolstering the self-image of our children and cultivating a new generation of American patriots.
A Powerful Vision Unveiled
Our program is not just a program; it's a
beacon of hope, a catalyst for change, and a sanctuary for personal growth.
From
Georgia, Nicole A. says,
"These are trying times, and I am so happy to have something, anything, to share with my children that can provide them with inspiration and morals that I can stand behind."
As a devoted father, grandfather, and proud veteran, I share your concerns about the path our children are being forced to take.
How I Became Mad As Hell…
Before the era of COVID-19, I spent 19 years working with teenagers on how to get into their first-choice colleges.
Instead of focusing on their grades and test scores, I had them accentuate their talents, no matter how underdeveloped.
As a result, they learned the benefits of standing out, acknowledging their uniqueness, and activating their talents.
It all translated into a 97% success rate of getting into their colleges.
That's because my students discovered how recognizing their self-worth had a far greater impact on their acceptance than conforming to difficult academic requirements.
But I was mad as hell that their unfounded and unfair negative self-images were not being addressed in their schools.
The book’s unexpected success resonated deeply
as it contrasted with a disheartening truth – many of our schools
have been sabotaging the very self-esteem they should be nurturing.
With the election of Donald Trump, that may all change. For now, our children are being categorized based on identity, fostering division and self-doubt. Anxiety and depression are now in evidence, and we cannot stand idly by.
A Ray of Light Amidst the Darkness
To counter this issue, I established American
Education Defenders Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated
to defending our children against a negative culture in our schools.
But what if we could do more?
What if we could influence our children's lives with true stories from America's past that showcase the power of the human spirit and the virtues that define us as a nation?
Imagine a world where a 14-year-old who contemplated suicide found comfort in a friend's compassionate listening.
Simple acts - monumental impact.
These are the very life lessons that need to find their way into our educational system.
Igniting Self-Discovery through American History
Let's delve into the mechanics of our program:
These bite-sized segments, averaging 4-7 minutes, make it ideal for homeschooling and complementing classroom instruction (if only teachers can be allowed to show them).
The results of this approach are five-fold:
Our program has an unexpected but exciting result: it nurtures a bond between parent and child. We never even planned for this, but it's happening as you read this.
After each story is told, followed by its life lessons, we ask questions that BOTH parent and child are encouraged to answer. Try finding this result at your local public school.
2. Empowerment Through Proof:
Our children recognize their capacity for courage, empathy, self-reliance, generosity, and other essential American values that underpin the spirit of our nation.
