Hidden Treasures
Earlier today, I was helping Khushi get ready for school when we began talking about Disneyland.  Now, typically, when we talk of any thing that costs a lot of money, I try to bring in the message that, if we really want something and it costs a lot, we can buy it if we [...]]]></description>

The suggestions ranged from giving unconditional love to supporting healthy risks.  What I found most noteworthy, however, was how the writeup distinguished between &#8220;Praise&#8221; and &#8220;Encouragement&#8221;:
