On the Recent White House Revelations, of Matters, Most Delicate by William P. Benz, Esq. You have to look for the openings with a kid. When they come along, you recognize them somehow and flow into them.
Every kid is the center of the universe.
We big people, whether parent, teacher, friend or elder, have to guide them to understand that everyone else is the center of the universe too. Our job is to listen and dream into that young being, teaching by truth, temperment and touch. Earlier this decade, I spent a few years single-dadding it with my teenage daughter Jazz Minh. We were both so busy being the center of our own respective universes that it was a stretch to enter into each other's world. No surprise there, of course.
