On today's episode, the kids get a chance to talk.  They want the parents to know what's on their minds.  And to be honest, this is the dialogue that needs to take place more often.  Our kids have serious concerns that need to be addressed.  We as the adults must always have an open mind, open ear, and open heart to them.  It's better that they come to us for advice than for them to turn to other inexperienced individuals.  Let's put on our tough skin and answer the tough questions.  Share this episode with kids and adults.  Let's start some conversations.  The time is now.  Don't forget to rate our show and spread the word.
