“It is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings.” ~ Ann Landers

As children are either just underway or about to start the new school year, my pledge to myself and my family is to remember the above quote. As parents, if we do for our children what they are developmentally able to do for themselves, we miss a valuable opportunity for our children to experience their competence and gain confidence. So kiddos, you are on your own for SCHOOL LUNCHES this year! I'M doing YOU a favor! .... However, I am taking orders for healthy options to have around the house. What age-appropriate tasks are you having your children take on?

I hope everyone is set for a FABULOUS start to the 2012-2013 school year!

Intentionally yours!
