Hi everybody, this short segment is what we call for the good of the order.

It's something we used to do at the end of my sorority meetings if you can believe that,

where someone would share something that they came across in the course of the week,

a poem, a song lyric, a short story, that they found enormously helpful as they went

about daily life.

And I wanted to pick up the thread because I am so often wowed by something I see in

the world that I want to bring back and hand off to you.

So every Friday, we produce a short segment called for the good of the order.

Think of it like an audio greeting card.

A thing to share with the people that you love around the country who you don't get to

see or talk to enough.

A thing to discuss with the people you do see and talk to on a more regular basis.

This is Kelly Corrigan-Wenders for the good of the order.

This week's for the good of the order comes from the very end of Michelle Eichert's book

Eight Setbacks that can make a child a success.

We had her on the podcast this week and I wanted to share this as a separate item so that

you have easy access to it again and again.

She included something at the end of her book called Your Child's Bill of Rights that

refers to big ideas that she shared across the pages of the book.

Some of these I found somewhat counterintuitive, things about privacy and making informed decisions

about their bodies and determining their own values, which on the face of it sounds like

what kind of parent wouldn't let their kid determine their own values.
