November 22, 2021December 30, 2021 Walks with Strays No Comments

For some reason, whether I’ve read it somewhere or watched it on a show, I’ve noticed a trend. The parent says something to the effect of now that they are 18, their child is an adult and free to make their own decisions. While it is true that this is the time in their lives…

Let’s Empower our kids

April 14, 2018December 29, 2020 Walks with Strays No Comments
