What's your favorite movie?  Which Disney character do you think you are most like?  Who's the best  character on Law & Order?  What television show do you like best?  Which Harry Potter movies is your favorite?  Top basketball player of all time?  Those are just some of the questions that are asked in the Heinisch family on a daily basis.  A lot of times these questions come with a varied amount of answers which lead to long discussions and a lot of debate on whose opinion is correct.  It is always fun to listen to everyone talk and I am impressed that these rarely lead to heated arguments.  I love that the Heinisch children have learned to express their own thoughts and back up their opinions through these friendly discussions.  It is a skill to be able to debate without becoming angry or emotional.  It has taken some of them longer than others to get to that point, but overall they have each developed their own style and have learned when it is time to "agree to disagree."  I wish more families would teach this skill.
