Things are going to change. You are going to change, too.
Keep your balance!
Knowing in advance that winter is coming, or summer—it still kinda surprises me.
Be prepared to be accepting.

[Some families] had stopped doing school, and then stopped making their kids do anything, and now their kids were doing NOTHING.
Aside from the idea of the rich potential of their "nothing," the parents had gone from making their kids do everything, to "making them do nothing." And interestingly, it did make them "do nothing," at first. Or at least the parents couldn't see the new things they were doing.
