- ask you and the world endless questions ... probing for the answers to the questions ...
- understand the importance of honesty and integrity in a new way 
- value hard work ... at least that's what we hope!]]> 2020-09-24 22:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/normajohnson/hzb0vorv6pswsjwa/wish/777748011 normajohnson https://padlet.com/normajohnson/hzb0vorv6pswsjwa/wish/777748012 2020-09-24 22:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/normajohnson/hzb0vorv6pswsjwa/wish/777748012 normajohnson https://padlet.com/normajohnson/hzb0vorv6pswsjwa/wish/777748013 - Allow your kids to make mistakes ... don't rescue them ... help them problem solve, but let them "fix it"
- Help them find balance in all they undertake and set reasonable limits - Keep them safe ... wear a mask, socially distance and avoid crowds ... please
- Ask them questions about what they are doing and what they are learning ... not if they are enjoying it ... it's a TRAP!
