It’s interesting to me how I feel about celebrities weighing in on politics compared to how compelled I am hearing them talk about their families.Though I have no tolerance for celebrities waxing passionately about Biden vs. Trump, I do find their takes on parenting and the challenges that come with it interesting.

Expectations clearly need monitoring with children these days.

Rachel Scott.It was a name foreign to me until a few months ago when I heard my 12-year-old son’s school was looking to present a program called Rachel’s Challenge to students.
