Thanks to John Bishop of TeachingMoments.com for sharing today's post. While it's addressed at teens, many of the questions in this quiz are relevant for any member of the family. I was somewhat surprised by my own responses to some of these questions and intend to follow up on John's suggestion to examine one topic per week in my own life.
