"Our prime purpose in life is to help others, and if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them". Dahla Lama. 

Change Lanes was founded as a direct result of Mrs.Spears working with adults involved with the system, and then seeing their children come through the system as well.  We call this intergenerational cycle.

Sometimes we may not see how much our actions, beliefs and values effect our children.  There may be times when parents think its okay to lie. For instance, the landlord is knocking on the door to pick up the rent. You tell your child to tell them you are not home, or better yet, be quiet and don't open the door, you act as though you are not home. Then the next thing you know your child tells a lie and it is a whole other story.

As parents we must recognize that our chidlren are like sponges, they soak up everything they see and hear. Many times we play a huge part in how our children react and respond to situations.

Change Lanes is not saying you are bad parents, heck, if that were the case all parents are bad parents. What we are saying is that once we recognize what we need to work on and even change as adults, the change can be further life changing for our children. the youth, the future.

Individuals are not their trauma. They are not their symptom nor, their disease. They are individuals coping the best way they know how, until they know better.
