Whitney Christopher King and Building Character (as well as some other North Fulton moms) who have started businesses to enrich the lives of children were recently featured in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution on Aug 29th 2015.
Here is a quote from the article:
Alpharetta mom, Whitney Christopher King, is a professional actress and theater teacher. She started her company, Building Character, after years of voluntarily directing student productions. With a deep belief that creative play can help kids develop self-esteem and life skills, she devised special classes stressing fun expression. Her after school programs run in several North Fulton area schools.
“I really started directing because I saw the arts, drama and music disappearing from our schools,” she told me. “It was the catalyst for me to do something. That morphed into the more specific programs. It’s great our schools focus on academics, but if we don’t have creativity, we’ll have a smart, but very boring, society.”
These moms are passionate about bringing out the best in every child. They express concerns that today’s kids are too stressed than they should be, too worried about fitting in, and too fixated on their phones and other distracting devices.”
