by Betsy Brown Braun on October 2, 2019, under Adolescents, Behavior, Brat-Proofing, Character traits, Elementary School Children, Environmental influences, Parent modeling, Parenting, Public Behavior

On Friday night after another great dinner at our local pizza place with two of my grandgirls, we went for our requisite fro yo. It’s what we do on sleepovers at “BeeBee and Big D’s” house: pizza and frozen yogurt.  As we sat relishing each bite with a taste of topping, two girls came scooting by.  They looked to be 9 years old-ish.
