and it is the imperfections
that lead to resilient children.

Shiny Objects, Black Holes, Fire Drills
Pursue the hot new technology or idea?
Squeeze in the latest after-school activity?
Invest more in an over-budget project?
Invest in a private coach for club sport?
Redirect everyone to the fire drill?
Drop everything for a homework panic?

Example of a distraction at home or work?
