“Precious afternoon with Lady Gatsby, our dog, she no longer lives with us for many reasons ! She never forgot us and we never did…
This afternoon was a reassurance that loyalty and love are an endless bond”

“Those who touch our heart…
Today was very special, I don’t if I ever told you, I used to work in a school, those among you who read my book would know, I was the director of the middle school, and generation after generation, I watched those kids grow physically, emotionally, mentally, I watched them overcome personal issues, those they bring from home and explode them on other kids, and other issues they develop due to facing others’.
Bullying was at the heart of the middle school, name it, it was there, physical, sarcasm, belittling others, isolation, on social media, in messages, among friends, you are my friend or will have no friends, and the list is still at the beginning.
I always felt that in the circle of the bullying crime, you have to cure the bully before the bystander and before the victim, since in my opinion, I viewed pain crawling out of him/her to feed their anger and dilemma; the bystanders represent a higher number among the crowd, they need time to build enough character to stand for themselves and others; and last the victims, although bullying hurts, but when surrounded by the right people, they will eventually heal their wounds, once they understand that bullies act out of weakness and pain rather than themselves being weak and wrong!
I used to call bullying the vicious circle… it is a long story.
Anyways, among the many I witness grow, there was this one child, who really had it bad! I and many around me worked very hard to help, unfortunately, he had to leave the school, and go struggle abroad, between his split parents. His departure broke my heart, I knew, at times we can only help a little, but as well I knew, that at least we were his serene community!
Days went by, and his news was only fading away, but he was always on my mind, and I always wondered whether he was able to find himself in the harsh world that he was born in.
I learned at least one lesson per day during school days, except this child taught me many!
Today, as I was in a coffee shop, trying to rest, this gentleman approached me, and said, Miss Badiaa, I am, I didn’t let him finish, I recognized him on the spot, I hugged him, and tears shed… he did succeed after a long struggle, he made it, and I thanked God for crossing his path with mine to put my mind at ease!
Dear parents, readers, and educators,
parents, try to keep your conflicts away from your children,
readers, this school was and still is among the best in the world, no we were not exclusive with bullying issues if you don’t know, every child goes through that cycle,
and educators, always remember that your role is far beyond the book!”
To this child, id you ever get across this article, as I told you this afternoon, I am so proud of you!”
#MOI the Author of Mommy I am a PACER! inspired by my days at school, when I was privileged to learn from those children and serve them to reach better days!

“Save your child from being a bully because forever and ever he/she will live in regret, pain, and shame.
Yes bullies hurt others but bullies must be clinically treated for being able to hurt others cold blooded and move on with their life.
What makes an innocent child develop into a bully…
Endless questions.
Save your child, and every other child from your child!
Say NO to bullying!”

“He wasn’t just a little boy, that boy in the class. I watched him grow and witnessed him struggle, but, I stood there watching!
It is the story, the story of bullying, not only written words in a book, or scenes taking place in a movie…. bullying is the reality our children live on a daily basis.
Observe your children’s behavior, the changes in pattern, in dress code, their eating habits, the playing routine, their friendship… bullies will not admit their actions, victims shall not confirm the pain, and bystanders will live with regret!
The bullying disease that took over for generations, will not stop overnight… where does your child fall, under which category? Can you encourage them to speak up?
You may be able to protect them periodically, but the change should happen from within!
The rule of “you are my friend. or will have no friend!” is the statement that we need to push our children to stop using…
The statement of “you cannot attend my birthday” when a whole class is invited except few, is in the hand of adults to set the tone to their children by saying, you either invite the class or only a few, and remember the birthday is a memory for our children to enjoy and not to tease the left outs…
The sarcastic attitude that intimidates a child and humiliates them is forbidden, our child might be outspoken, beautiful, with high skills in academics or physical activities, but the other children have special abilities as well…
Let us help our children take pride in self for what they have and do, but be humble enough to praise others for their achievements and help them reach their potential.
Call it teamwork, call it integrity, honesty, loyalty, respect, responsibility, humility, empathy, compassion, agility, perseverance, humility, fairness… I call it, help them become a PACER!
Mommy, I am A PACER! is a book of 5 short stories for parents and children. The book targets the incidents children survive on a daily basis, and help them, through co-illustration with the author, solve them and freely discuss them when they see the main character Abigail go through the same incidents.
Life is not a book, but at times knowing that someone knows how we feel will help us acknowledge, express, and deal with our own feelings. Hope you get to have your own
and help your child change and be the change in his/her community following ABIGAIL’s footsteps.”

“Sometimes I wish someone would understand, said the teenager!
It is the only true statement that is not declared, simply because when they become teenagers, their ego grows faster that their body or mind.
The struggle to exist, becomes a main concern among friends when one of them leads and decides which one belongs to the clan…
The smart ones shies away, because they are bullied for their academic achievements…
The popular ones, whether boys or girls, take over the sweets ones, and erase their existence…
The outspoken ones, intimidate the genuine ones…
The ones with long hair, clear skin, aligned body, and no glasses, attract the muscled boys…
The loud ones, the tall ones, the ….
Let me tell you how I see it, a perfect jungle, and the winner is, no it it not the one that was blessed with what they believe
is perfection of the physical appearance or loud voice.
While those are busy brushing their hair, whether boys or girls, the others are learning to deal with rejection, and mastering the skills of survival. Although the teen age years are crucial to existence, and for some it is a matter of life and/or no life, but believe me, at times, those days are what makes those kids the masters of tomorrow
Can someone help, yes, children, parents and educators! Parents by raising a child with strong character, and educators by being invisible mediators since most crimes take place at schools; as for the children themselves, I say two things: life is not a contest with size, popularity, hair and skin color, etc… life is contest of righteousness and sometimes silence is the winner, it is about the skills that would last you a lifetime, and one of them is perseverance, it is about respect of self and others, it is about endorsing in others what we see in self, and believing in others’ potential and cheering for their success, it is about teamwork, being genuine, defending the weak, and speaking up for the voiceless, accepting others, understanding them, it is about empathy, it is about learning to solve conflicts peacefully and not being bystanders… this is life!

“You are the change… simply because you are different!
Tell that to your children when they are going to school, tell them, today is the day they will make a difference in someone else’s life, simply because they are different, they will not fear to accept others as they are, they will not ignore the bullying taking place around them, they will not leave a child behind, and they will stand by righteousness!
Tell them to join Abigail’s journey and make their world a better place!”

“During Conflicts among Children, 7 becomes just a number!
Believe it or not, it is very difficult for a child to be left behind, it is not a matter of my child likes solo activities, when a child prefers his own company, it means that this child is either resisting to fit in or refraining from facing others and conflicts… both not healthy for the child if not dealt with.
MOMMY I AM A PACER! a book that deals with children’s difficulties and encourages them to change their behavior and be the change leader in their surrounding.
Some children are leaders by birth and other follow by example and that example is ABIGAIL, the main character. In the paragraph below, Abigail’s Grandpa was helping her solve conflicts with her friends by following the seven steps of conflict resolution.
I encourage you to buy the book for your child, read it yourself, and with him/her, and watch them change and express themselves through actions and co-illustration!
Enjoy!
“Seven becomes just a number once the conflicts are solved.
Step one: remain calm while talking.
Step two: ask your friend about the reason behind the conflict.
Step three: listen carefully
Step four: repeat what your friend has said to ensure you heard properly and show them care to know the reason.
Step five: tell your friend how you feel, peacefully.
Step six: discuss a way to maintain your friendship in respect to both of you.
Step seven: if you cannot reach a solution, call an adult to help.””

“It’s Back to School time, Leave no child behind!
With school doors opening, students go back excited to see each other and tell exciting summer stories they lived.
It has always been a beautiful and touchy scenery, except when observing new-comers!
Unfortunately, it is the case in every school, new-comers remain alone, and struggle to fit in.
As parents and educators, that awareness is very important, empathy, as much as it is considered a virtue, it is as well a choice, and reminding our kids to understand other’s position is crucial!
Leave no child behind;
Help them fit in;
& Accommodate differences!
Empathy will save the world, & Change someone’s life!”
#MOI I believe in goodness, I believe that one can change the world; It is a contagious disease, spread love, help others, carry the torch of change!
Join Abigail the main character of MOMMY I AM A PACER, and let your child follow by example.
