When my son moved in with us, he was six years old and very behind in his reading skills. If we tried to get him to read anything, he'd flip his lid and throw massive tantrums. Fast-forward to today: he's 10 and he's the most voracious reader in the house—almost constantly with

Lately, we've hit so many unexpected challenges at Slingshot. We've established a bit of a routine that's not quite stoic, but is working: Be upset for about 30 seconds, laugh that it's a constant cycle, make a game plan, and then remind each other: "we just leveled up again."
