See it when you wake up and when you have your cup of coffee. Feel it when you drive to your room and even when you walk in the door. Know it when you are with your children and when you see the room and facility in the rear view mirror every day…know it…feel it…. Picture yourself as the best teacher.
Parents Need the Little Things From You
