Aliens (Fiction)
This is a sequel to a linguistics-based short story, Cold Words, by Juliette Wade. It is true to the first while widening the focus of the world. I enjoyed it as much Cold Words and hope you will, too: Sunwake, in the Lands of Teeth

Suggestions (Parenting)
I can’t say I agree with everything this article proposes, but each item is worth consideration. Many of them are a matter of how you parent as opposed to something that must be avoided. As the parent of two exceptional adults, I can wholeheartedly agree with the premise. It’s worth the effort to help your kids grow up able to face reality and make their way in an increasingly complex world.
