Generation G is the approach of todays youth, an approach of generosity in spirit, contribution, meaning and care for the life of their culture and this planet.  As elders, we are the believing eyes for this generation, the gateway to their success as they face issues we did our best with, as they address these issues with a brand new mind.  Lets listen, lets contribute, lets collaborate....this is OUR future together.

Generation G is about generosity and about empowering a generation that is not entitled but empowered to speak their love, concern and contribution for this world, as we have supported and taught them to.  Finding voice / giving voice is about garnering empowerment to accomplish and achieve what needs to be achieved.  I think you will find WHATAREKIDSSAYING.COM to be an important stepping stone in that voice of the future we so want to see.

EMPOWERING Generation G

Testimonials


WAKS Readers:

"I knew there was something special when my three homeschoolers started a sign-up sheet for use of our one home computer so they could share their short stories and thoughts about their young lives with the WAKS community. WAKS has helped my children become better writers and better thinkers. They are more aware of their feelings because they are always thinking about HOW they are feeling so they can get it off their chest in writing. I am happy to subscribe and enjoy reading the writing my own children are sharing as well as the fun and thoughtful writing from children all over the country. It is certainly worth the small price for such a great impact it has had on my children" -Meredith D.: Atlanta, GA

"WAKS has made my children excited about writing—writing anything! Everything that happens to them day to day now becomes WAKS writing material. And it is doing more for them than teaching about writing and the power of sharing their writing. It has helped teach other character qualities such as time management, meeting deadlines and an overall sense of responsibility in getting their writings in. I have 5 children and I have seen these positive benefits of WAKS in all my children, from my teenager right down to my six year old."  -Sia C.: Tulsa, OK


WAKS Scribes:

"I hope I'm not interupting anything, because if I am, this can wait.   
  Actually, all I would like to say is thank you. I just got rid of a virus on my personal computer and was at risk of losing all my personal literature and music and photos. The only thing that kept me from staying up at night worrying was that I knew a large ammount of my writing was on WAKS. And I truely figured out how extremely greatful I am to be apart of this website. So thank you. =] Okay, I'll let you get back to your work."   -Josifer a.k.a. Damagedgoods

"...I don't know how many people actually read everything I post, because I know I do post a lot, but I know that at least one person out there is reading what I'm saying (thank you, DamagedGoods!), and I know I've been featured on the homepage and stuff, and that makes me feel good, you know, that people care. All of my classmates seem to be under the impression that what they say doesn't matter, but it's not true. It DOES matter, they just have to help the people listen.

 So yes, I am glad I have this site to turn to when nobody else seems to be listening, because I can think of the amount of members, and I can think of those who randomly go through the Showcase who might just stop to read the latest never_more original. And it makes me smile."  -Never_More
