Our third child, a son (K. B. Chandler) has arrived on time and in good health. He is a Dragon and we are thrilled to welcome the last of our brood into the world. It seems that until now he was missing, so his arrival is akin to a homecoming for our long lost celestial wanderer.
And so volume III begins to take shape behind the second. The Ox and Scorpio volume three; the rearing of dragons, will not be completed for some time as the little fellow has a long way to go.
This final volume in the series will focus on the challenges of educating and managing a sandwich generation household. With several young children and aging elders coming to rely on help from my wife and I. The text will explore strategies for engaging the elders in life enhancing (vice abusive or exploitative) ways to the benefit of our dragon and his siblings.
This will be the most collaborative work in the series as it will include input from our eldest who has eagerly leapt to the fore in shepherding the expanding brood.We are so impressed with the eldest son’s performance. We struggle with creative ways to reward and reinforce the behavior and with how to restrain his enthusiasm so he doesn't take on too much too soon. Any suggestions are appreciated.
- Chandler out
