Most folks who know me know that my nephew lives with me and my wife. He moved here… let’s see: it will be two years ago as of December 26th. The reasons behind the move were complex, but suffice it to say that Justin’s academic’s have improved as a result, as have some other problems he was having with his environment. Wrestling with 9 years of bad habits and role models wasn’t easy — it still isn’t easy — I wonder sometimes if it will ever be easy, or even less hard.

It’s at times like those that I am so glad I can find great parenting advice online!
