| | As always, I hope this newsletter is finding you and yours happy and in good health. | | Take 5! Write a Note to Your Teen About Your Grandparents I'm starting a new series on my blog called Take 5! The title simply means to take out five minutes of your day - right now would be good - and do something for yourself, your teen or your family that will strengthen your family bonds, firm up your parenting foundation or help you enjoy your journey on this side of teendom. Some pretty lofty goals for five little minutes, huh? Better get started... This week's Take 5!: Open a file in your word processor or take out a paper and open. Close your eyes and remember something about your grandparents that made you smile. Now take five minutes and write it down. Start with the phrase, "I remember when..." and just write. No one is going to check your spelling or grammar. Share what you have written with your family sometime this evening.
