And so, like, it's all those skills you use; you analyze the problem, figure out your tools, and then go at it piece by piece.... It's like what you have to do in the morning to get your kids out the door [if you're a parent]. The skills are, I believe, the same. The patience issues are the same.” IfsThinkingFirstsBelieveUseProblemKidsI BelieveParentMorningIssuesPiecesDoorsAirFiguresSkillsCapableToolsBalls Author:Sylvia Mathews Burwell

“It might be helping to explore a story visually by going to see a museum exhibit that's relevant to something that somebody's reading, or going to see a show or listening to a piece of music or cooking a meal that's in one of the stories, something practical, something kinesthetic that draws the reader in and helps them to experience the story for themselves.
