THANK YOU FOR COMING!!!! The hardest part of raising a child is teaching them to ride bicycles. A shaky child on a bicycle for the first time needs both support and freedom. The realization that this is what the child will always need can hit hard. ~Sloan Wilson Fourth grade is like riding the bicycle. Your children will need to become independent learners and they still need the support of all of us to make them be able to eventually yell: “No Handlebars!!”
