A Little Help With Your Compass
Words of Wisdom for the Grandchild I May Never Meet
by
Sheldon Thomas
A Little Help with Your Compass is a guidebook for teens and young adults wanting to grow into the next phase of their lives with integrity and self-awareness. Written as a summation of Thomas’ advice to his own son, it is full of practical real-world suggestions and reflections to help you develop character, discover your strengths, and navigate inter-personal challenges. Thomas became a father at fifty, and he enjoyed both the closeness of the parent–child relationship and the imparting of wisdom that is often the role of a grandparent. From this unique vantage point, he developed a very reflective approach to parenting. His son urged him to capture his guidance and encouragement in this intimate and timely manual.
Sheldon Thomas is described by his friends as having lived a rather full life. His years have seen him become an athlete, a motorcycle enthusiast, an animal welfare advocate, a top militia recruit, a marksman, a labourer, a restaurant cook, a handyman, an author of magazine articles, a Manager of Water Distribution for a large city, a business owner, an MECP-recognized teacher/trainer, a husband, and a father. He lives in Burlington, Ontario, Canada with his son.
