It’s interesting watching how being there week in and week out, they almost start to depend on you being there. It kind of builds trust and our kids are still relatively young, though we have a couple of seniors and a fair amount of juniors. It’s vital to make yourself open to having hang out time and conversations and even realizing that with them, sometimes the subject matter won’t be what you want to talk about.
