Handle with Care

Quirks, Bumps, and Bruises

Join us on this heartfelt episode of Quirks, Bumps, and Bruises as Melody and Candi discuss the increasing anxiety among school-aged children, often stemming from turmoil at home. Drawing from personal experiences and the touching story of Russ Taff, who carried the weight of his home life into the classroom, we explore how these struggles can impact a child's performance and well-being. We share a powerful initiative by a compassionate teacher who sends home a "handle with care" note, offering additional support without requiring families to divulge personal details. This simple yet profound gesture emphasizes the importance of understanding and grace in education and in everyday interactions with others. We all have days when we also need to be "handled with care." Tune in to hear how small acts of kindness and understanding can significantly impact the lives around you.
