Swimming in the shallow end is fairly safe and sound, you can't go down very deep before you touch the ground. Swimming in the deeper end means there's more room for play, the cost is that there is more risk, and you may have to pay. Play it safe or venture out; you choose what you will do. No one else will make your way, it's always up to you.

Although simplified I love the wisdom you express and the way you do it.

Keep it Simple! I try to keep them short and sweet sometimes so I keep the kids' attention. It's hard to compete with all the awesome games and apps out there! -Cary

Very good Cary in describing deeper waters as a risk but it's worth the venture.

Thank you, Adrian! I've always found the greater rewards are on the other side of greater risk, but there is some wisdom in treading with safety in mind. ;-) Thanks for the note; I'm glad you liked it! -Cary
