• The real questions for parents should be: "Are you engaged? Are you paying attention?" If so, plan to make lots of mistakes and bad decisions.

Perfection doesn't exist, and I've found what makes children happy doesn't always prepare them to be courageous, engaged adults.

Profoundly changed my life.
