Independence for all

Today is the celebration of Independence in America.  Take a moment today to think about what this word means:

~ not to be controlled by others~ self-governing~ not requiring or relying on something or someone else~showing a desire for freedom

Do you have independence?  Are you helping teach your child independence or are you keeping them dependent.  Sometimes we forget that one of the best things we can do for ourselves and our children is to practice living independently.  

Happy 4th of July!
