You have THE BEST way of phrasing & communicating ~ there is no need to reinvent the wheel, I just share your name, address, and links with my families! 

I know that you are bridging the gaps in their parenting journey and I am merely a transmitter...I am grateful for you and all that you teach. Thank you!! “
