“Senator Ben Sasse, in his book, ‘The Vanishing American Adult,’ writes, ‘Our kids don’t always know the distinction between need and want.’ You parents have to help them learn the difference. Your child will need your guidance more than ever.” So, that means that there will be at least one cycle of change before your kindergarten graduate becomes an adult.
