Play on the floor with them

I love how a child appreciates it when we get down on their level and play with them. I was reminded this Sunday when rolling around with Lathan, watching Levi and Luke play chess Indian style, sewing a Barbie dress with Souriya and seeing Lance put together some new creation with Legos. They look at you differently. This is a place I know I earn their respect, allowing them to tower over me every once in a while.
