Tidbits...

Every family in every home has a “catch-all” drawer…and this is ours. We place in “Tidbits” everything relating to Affective Skills that doesn’t fit anywhere else. Primarily, this area of the Affective Skills Web Site is for the soft things; poems, verses, quips, insights, etc. You may laugh, or cry, or cheer at what you see here. Mostly we want to support you, inspire you and, just maybe, help you to see things a little differently than before. Just e-mail AffectiveSkill@aol.com to send us some Tidbits of your own.

 Enjoy!
