Things I Wish My Kids Would Ask Me
Editor’s NOTE: Barry Courter has a 22-year-old son who recently graduated from college and a 17-year-old daughter who is a senior in high school.
Q: Dad, I’m involved in a lot of stuff, and sometimes there are scheduling conflicts. What should I do?
A: Young people today do way more than my generation ever did. Many of these activities are important. However, you have to set a priority at the beginning and stick to it. School has to come first. After that, if you work, that has to be up there. If you commit to more than one team or group, set a priority, tell everyone involved and stick to it. The other members depend on you.
