"THAT RIDE HOME"

"That ride home from the game. I realized that 'that ride home from the game' is one of the best moments you can share with your child. True with all my children. It is when they could be at their rawest and truest -- either so proud of themselves and their team, jubilant or frustrated or angry, or disappointed etc. (just a warning though -- your heart will hurt more than theirs if they lost or did not play well). It is a perfect time to connect with your child, a perfect time to talk about life and its lessons - without them, or even you, noticing it. 'That ride home from the game' is precious. If you can, do it."
