Let kids be kids. We have to remember that kids are kids. Too many times they are being forced to grow up too fast and don't get the chance to have fun and be a real kid. We have to make sure they are safe and don't get into major trouble, but we also have to let them learn from mistakes and be able to make choices.

I really don't have a real favorite, but if I had to choose I would say Heaven is for Real. It is inspiring and it gives me hope that I will be able to see my son, my grandpa, and all my other loved ones again some day.
