School Pick-up. It's exhausting at times, rewarding at others, mundane most days - especially when I ask, "How was your day?" and got the age old "Fine." response. Getting kids talking is key to building that parent/children bond and essential for their well-being in my I'm-only-qualified-as-a-parent opinion. please utilize this tool to start the conversations with your children about how their day was and to dig more into how they are doing - are they making friends? - are they happy? - are they feeling the love? - because that's what we're really asking.
