		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s never too early to begin talking with your children about things they&#8217;ll need to know as they enter the world of peer pressure. Things like integrity, responsibility, and trustworthiness&#8230;drugs, tobacco, and alcohol&#8230;and yes, even sex education. (Don&#8217;t panic! You can do this.) While it&#8217;s normal to feel uncomfortable talking with your children about tough [...]]]></description>

Don&#8217;t ask me why I never hit &#8220;publish.&#8221; It feels like summer lately &#8212; not just because the weather turned hot almost overnight, mostly because I&#8217;ve been reading a lot, and enjoying every indulgent minute.
