It was considered the best photo of this century. A lioness and her cub were crossing the Savannah but the heat was excessive and the cub was in great difficulty walking.
An elephant realized that the cub would die and carried him in his trunk to a pool of water, walking beside his mother. And we call them wild animals.
It's a great lesson for mankind who are fighting and dying for no reason.

What People Are Saying About the Parenting on Purpose Series: |
|
"They are well-rounded, informative, and relatable. As a child and a parent, this class has shocked me into the right mindset. I felt reassured about past experiences as a child that I felt as though were unresolved due to a lack of explanation and understanding about adult life and the difficulties of parenting. It has given me a great deal of comfort and encouragement as a parent." -Ryan Delva |
|
"The skills learned in the classes can also be used in your adult relationship not just for parents. -Dawn Pinder " |
|
"The sessions were extremely relevant and timely! It came in handy with rearing children especially during a new move, these sessions helped with guiding us into daily habits with the kids." -anonymous
"I like how I was able to see the insight on how parents view what being a parent is like and see how others around my age view; and how those views differ. Coming from a community where different parenting skills are not really discussed, this is a great experience." -anonymous
