Very good article and we agree completely. The greedy accumulation at the top is not trickling down and government has the responsibility to level the playing field so as to make it fair for everyone. It is called the “Common Good.” Thanks Judy

Edissa,

Thank you for sharing your story and standing with undocumented students. I praise you for making the conscious shift of not using the word “illegal” to describe human beings. Language is powerful. Continue your advocacy and keep writing.

Edissa,
Thank you for be willing to rethink your own experience and that of your mother as a result of your work with Smart Cookie. More importantly, your honesty opens up all of the rest of us who read your words to reassess our own perspectives.

Surina,

Thanks for your Six Lessons Learned. I really appreciate 1, 2, and 6 as universal, and 3, 4, and 5 as essential for the work we do.

Best of success in your future adventures.

Juliann,
Thanks for that perspective! It feels harder to wrestle with one’s own expectations than it is to let a kid fully express his or her full personality.

Well said.
I have one daughter who is everything I could have wished for: tall, smart, independent, a terrific athlete, an even better big sister, and…did I say “tall”? Her little sister is an alien from the land of all things pink and extraordinarily girly. And until she entered my life, I never knew that this quintessential little girl is exactly what I always wanted?!
We just strictly limit access to “sassy” tweens and teens on screen and veto any clothing or accessories that are at all sexualizing. Within these bounds, I just enjoy her being every bit the precocious little girl that she is.
