I love this article from Lindsey Ayers from back in the fall. I thought everyone would enjoy a little life lesson or two from kids. Please share with us what you have learned from the kids you have nannied for over the years.
Try, try and try again. Build a tower. Watch it fall. Do it again. Change a few things, do it again. I’ve watched kids do this over and over. But they keep building and keep trying.
