I think we all have times we need to slow down a little. Balance is a funny thing because it is a moving scale and we get to define what that means for each of us. JoAnne and I began writing the Bur Bur and Friends children's books with the idea that we want to encourage kids and families to get active together. We know that raising healthy kids begins in the home and early childhood education is the key to living healthy. I wrote the article because I am sure there are many parents who can identify with a day like that once in a while. For me, laughter is a good way to take stress off of my shoulders. Thank you for joining in our conversation and reading our blog. Hi Cascia, your question is a good one. I think we all have times we need to slow down a little.
