Our Kids' Best Advice for Adults

We celebrated Take Your Kid to Work Day yesterday with the classics: fruit snacks, games, arts and crafts, scavenger hunts and of course, pizza. The offices were full of scampering, laughter and some pretty creative ideas. One of the best thing about kids is they surprise you, ask any parent. So over a round of juice-boxes and gummies, we went around the conference table and got each kiddo's best advice for adults. Enjoy!
