Help me help kids who are being bullied learn how to get it to stop
I wrote The Bully Vaccine to teach kids who are being bullied the practical skills they need to get it to stop. And yes, it does work. It's based on operant conditioning. My son has learned these skills and he's only in 1st grade now.The book works and can help, but won't do any good unless it gets into the hands of kids who need this information. I am asking this community to help me by purchasing a copy to donate to their local school or public library.To sweeten the deal, I will donate 10…See More

Not preaching to the choir
Posted on February 5, 2011 at 11:02am 1 Comment 1 Like
So, here we are in our nexus, discussing things that interest us and I wanted to post something about the need to not preach to the choir. We all know that we don't believe, but how do we reach the folks who also don't believe but don't care enough about the fact they don't believe to get involved? Does it even matter?

Keep up the good work.

The Flying Atheist said… Jennifer, just listened yesterday to your interview with Swoopy on Skepticality. I'm looking forward to purchasing your book and learning more about what you have to say. You have such a great attitude and outlook on life and toward other people. Carl
P.S. I'm so jealous that you grew up in a secular household!
