She has also written for and hosted a parenting radio for three years. Parents and grandparents have requested a book of her columns every where she goes, and since her retirement as a high school counselor and English teacher, she has finally had time to put over 100 of her columns into this book. Now, rather than cutting them out and putting them on the refrigerator or sending them to your children or other parents, you can carry it with you or buy this volume for those who are still parenting (and we are all still parenting if we ever had children).
Jan's expertise comes from years of being in the classroom with approximately 150 students per day. Since literature lends itself to discussion and often discussion leads to other issues, she has dealt with various areas of many lives that she has used in her columns. She does extensive research to validate her premises. In addition, during her more than 24 years as a counselor, she has helped parents deal with issues in academics, in marriage/family problems, in addictions, in eating disorders, in rebellious teens, and so many more.
She lives with her husband near the tiny town of Walls, Mississippi, with two dogs and many flower gardens. Her one son has eight children including two sets of twins. As she says in her dedication, he has given her "fodder" for many of the columns.
Since Jan has written the column for so many years and accumulated extensive material, more books will follow this one.view less
