My 14 year old son has been mostly vegan for over ten years, and enjoying his first extended period away from the family at overnight camp. The lessons are many.

No news for five days, seemed like good news. Then all of a
sudden, a flurry of emails. Seems he enjoyed the eggs offered at breakfast so much, he had them every day. Most likely he also partook of the soda and cookies at lunch, and did not have his parents to help him balance his transgressions.

A visit from Mom (he was only 12 miles away), with some healing foods, a new belt, some laundry assistance, and a few reassuring hugs brought him back from the brink. He learned a valuable lesson about the food, so the words I gave him had nothing to do with the obvious. I said:

• Breathe
• Body Rubs
• Chew Well
• Nature Walks

He knows what to do, and we are going down to Providence today for WaterFire without reservation.

Do you know what to do? How can I help you? david@kaganmedia.net
