The Inspiration for the Creation of The Growler Tapes
**
My children helped me discover a powerful dramatic adversary that every child understands. When they first entered public schools, my kids complained of being frightened by teachers who frequently got angry and yelled. Loud, insensitive big people can be very scary, particularly when they make demands and expect their rules to be followed.
Growlers are modeled after this type of real-life authoritarian adversary. For a kid, they're everywhere. We help keep them in perspective with humor and by providing insights to their vulnerabilities.
