When you need more than “I don’t know”: The High/Low Game
The school year has finally begun and you are dying to know how your child’s day went. How was their teacher? Were their peers nice to them? Did they find the work hard? So you ask your child and, after a long pause where you think he or she is thinking about a response, youContinue reading “When you need more than “I don’t know”: The High/Low Game”
