“What you see, more’s to be”. Those are the wise words my husband often passes on to my kids.

Everything is suddenly better…what’s with her? She’s giddy. You couldn’t wipe the smile off her face if you tried. Is she on something?
She sure is. Infatuation. David Clark says, “Infatuation is like a drug.”
Her shoulders sag. Her eyes are dull. A tear appears in the corner. The problem? He doesn’t like her.

I so enjoyed the summer time lull.

That is exactly the reaction we want when using this wisdom tip with our kids. Looking for a way to share the power of holding a little bit back in a relationship, we keep parts of our story a secret.
