You have to know your children. And my children are extremely emotional. Their highs are very high and their lows are very low. So we try to work towards a middle ground here. So we try to temper the highs with wisdom and humility. And we try to temper the lows with encouragement. Training in the practice of hope and gratitude. So we draw them towards the middle where there's a sense of stability.
