Dear Parents,
RE: Our ONE word and a warning about TikTok
In the new year article, I wrote about each of my family members having ONE word as a focus point and the dinner table conversation that led to each of us arriving at it. Wow – that was a fun activity. Our conversations were deep and involved as we dove into dialogue about what each of our proposed ONE
words meant and what could be a better choice of word to articulate what we were meaning. It took time, patience, and intentionality.
