Says Johana on 10 surprising parenting tips: “I’m a teacher, and one of my duties is supervising parent pickup after school. It can be kind of a drag, especially in the winter, but I like to watch the parents as they inch up in their cars and then finally make eye contact with their kid. It’s a little joy every time.”
