I think one of the biggest things I think about is what values I want to put in their head. The first one that comes to my mind is that you are awesome as you are and I say it to them when I tuck them in almost every night. I say those words because I really do think that’s the power of believing in yourself, is knowing I’m perfect as I am. We have a little craft room and there’s a quote up there about how uniqueness and what uniqueness is and how it relates to art and how it relates to you as a person, that there’s no one on the planet like you. You’re awesome as you are and so we always try to find what it is they’re into and remind them how cool it is that they’re into it. Not that we wish they were into something else. You’re awesome as you are because they are.
