To see all the kids with their animals is really inspiring a great community event and the kids really appreciate having people come It can be a thrill for kids from the city to go through all the animal hams just incredible seen kids who would be holding back and three or four years later they can just take over in conversations and take charge and know how to handle themselves Summer advice for parents: I have daughters ages 17 and 12 My advice to parents is to keep kids real busy in the summer important to have them occupied rather than have them sitting in front of the TV Be willing to listen if they change their minds or don't feel comfortable with some activity found that kids are really intuitive so definitely important to listen to them I really recommend 4-H for kids Parents have to be able to really what their kid wants to do I do introductory classes in 4-H to help kids and parents get the chance to see going on and to decide if this is what they want to do Name: Patti Erickson Age: 41 Kids In school: MacKenzie 12 sev-enth-grader-to-be at Meridian Middle School Cody 15 sophomore-to-be at Meridian High What are your kids doing this summer?
