Prepare My Child
for the “Real World?”
This is a difficult question to answer considering that“real world” is a relative term. Does this tem mean the “real world” of professional pressures, deadlines, and aggressive competition? Or does it mean the “real world” of emotional intelligence, engaged citizenry, compassion, joy, and relationship to one’s environment? If I were to be honest with myself, I’m pretty sure they’re asking about the former – the “real world” of work. Fortunately, no matter which version of the “real world” they are referring to, my answer is the same, a resounding “Yes!” Click HERE to read the article.
