7th grade

The start of 7th grade is a mere week away.  Lique will a member of the ASB for the first time.  As usual our summer was short and sweet.  Got a couple beach trips in and a few movies.  Nothing super special but plenty of mew memories and pictures.  And lots and lots of stories told by her.  Parents, I know I try to keep this light hearted but for a moment I am going to get serious.  When your child begins to tell you a story give them your full attention.  Mute the tv, put your phone down, turn away from the computer or whatever you are doing.  This is the foundation of communication you are helping them build.  If you do not give them the attention when they have a story to tell you about their day or their friends you are not teaching them what they need to know inside to effectively communicate.

Back to normal.  As Lique was telling me a story a few days ago she used the word "boobs".  My 12-year old little innocent girl said "boobs'.  Time to start cleaning the guns and put my Clint Eastwood cut out on the front porch with a hidden camera and speaker.
