A child's mind isn't a blank slate; it's more of a jungle. Each time a parent helps a toddler read, the child is walked through this jungle from one side to the other.

Favorite Song Lyrics

The words that make us fall apart, cannot be taken back. You hold the line that holds my heart, don't let go of that. The Words by, Dragonborn
