Today, I talk about that awkward age for boys when girls go from having cooties to being goddesses. It's fun reliving all these various stages with my own kids but I'm constantly amazed how much of parenting today is about keeping them away from screens. My dad had no money and his childhood sounded like heaven. My kids have all they need and I'm constantly trying to drag them back to - if not my dad's era - the 1970s so they can experience some danger and excitement.
