Backstory Behind Stephanie and Guest

This was my first time meeting and talking with Madylin and Natalyn. These girls kept me on my toes!  I had so much fun with them. I was reminded of the curiosity and expressiveness children have and found myself thinking several times in this interview, “Adults need to recapture this authentic playfulness.” This day will be cherished by me for a long time as a day of free, unedited expression…the perfect way to celebrate Fourth of July. – Stephanie Michele

Social Challenge of the Week

This week, I encourage everyone to spent 30 minutes asking a child questions about life and listening to them. Borrow one of your friend’s children if you have to…I promise it will be worth it.
