It is time to take charge of our lives and loves. It is time to stop waiting to be told how to provide the information necessary for those who (in part) hold our fates in their hands. Do you really think They know better than You how to get what They need from you? They do not.<\/p>\n
Do not go empty-handed to your doctor. I\u2019ve gone a step beyond preparing my children\u2019s teachers for them with The Form<\/a>, and prepared my children for their teachers.\u00a0 My children go to their first day of school knowing their teachers every public preference (Google is our friend).\u00a0 It helps my children relate back to those who hold their fate and understand those who cannot comprehend them as expected.<\/p>\n \u201cYou like OSU? Awesome, we can relate.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou like Winnie-the-Pooh? Well, I appreciate your attempt to relate to young children, I guess. When you want to discuss the differences between Tesla and Edison<\/a>, let\u2019s talk.\u201d<\/p>\n That\u2019s how my kids go to school.<\/p>\n That\u2019s how I go to the doctor.<\/p>\n Our fate is in OUR hands.

<\/a>Do not let your children go empty-handed into their classrooms. Send them with this<\/a> (also below). Someday, maybe school systems will build a database so we don’t recreate The Form<\/a> every year, but for now, let your teachers know you care that they know your child from day one.<\/p>\n
