Soul Food (Food for Thought)


"We have an acute, almost biological, impulse to provide for our children, to give them everything they want and need, to protect them from dangers and discomforts both large and small.  And yet we know on some level at least that what kids need more than anything is a little hardship, some challenge, some deprivation they can overcome, even if just to prove to themselves that they can.“

– L.R. Knost
