EP 46: Fourth Grade, Now I Want to go Parachuting!
Show Notes

This is the fourth episode on our elementary school years. With this episode, we share memories about our first memories of experiencing the natural world as well as realizing diversity in the classroom. We also discuss our special school pressures when it came to dealing with math especially math competitions and the pros and cons of counting with your fingers! We also talk about childhood role models.  An unusual topic covered is our memories around childhood illnesses including unexpected consequences of taking medicine. Lastly, but not least, we talk about Eden getting their first dog in the fourth grade and where that fit into Eden’s emerging awareness of the world.  As usual, topics are covered with humility, personal experience and tenderness.   Hope you enjoy!
