A very important conversation for which we can only thank you and Dr. Nicole. One thing though. I really don’t understand why you’re calling children “kiddo’s”. To me it doesn’t sound endearing or modern, big brings down the level of conversation a bit. Children deserve the respect of being named in a serious manner. We’re not talking about “adulto’s” either, right?
