“The Elastic Band Kids” is an exciting rhyming narrative poem that demonstrates the importance of parenting and teaching with highest ideals and expectations as well as the highest warmth, compassion and care. Stretching too much or too little during those resilient but ultimately formative years can be equally problematic. Told in a way that even the youngest children can understand, this extended narrative poem shows why it's so important to strive for that elusive balance and look back upon one's childhood and education with as much compassion and forgiveness as possible.
