Good Thinking Parts of your Brain

Sullivan and I were talking about what it means to be responsible, and I gave him a

list that included:

• helping find your own socks and shoes,

• buckling yourself in the van,

• keeping track of your own water bottle, and

• grabbing a snack when you want one instead of yelling and whining about how scared you are to go to the snack cupboard, when I am literally in the same room. (The snack cupboard is in the front hallway, it is the coat closet. We even put up curtains instead of heavy wooden doors to make it lighter. There is a huge bright light in there, too.)
