The Health Access Nurturing Development Service (HANDS) is a voluntary program for all first time parents residing in Kentucky designed to promote healthy pregnancies, births, healthy child growth and development, healthy and safe homes, and self-sufficient families. With limited to no experience with children, Sandy and I thought it might be a good idea for us to participate. For the last two years our HANDS nurse, Jackie, has visited us at regular intervals testing and tutoring us on healthy parenting. As parents, we are the most important people in Benji and Trey Davey’s life, their first and most important teachers. With Jackie’s help, we prepared the boys well and aced their final exam qualifying them to graduate from the program. Neither boy cared much for the cap and gown, so Winnie the Pooh accepted their diplomas for them.
