Mental Health & Parenting Writer
My oldest started at a Waldorf preschool this month. This past weekend, his teacher hosted a back-to-school parent meeting. She put her hand on her heart at one point and said, “We must listen carefully to know what matters and when.” What a good recipe for life. This week, I’ve been working on listening more so I can do better.
