Do you know your teen's potential?
A French artillery officer invented "night writing" -- it was a form of
reading by touching raised dots on a page so soldiers could understand
written orders without lighting a lantern and risk getting shot. A 13-year-
old blind teenager heard about it and pleaded with the officer to make
this concept available to the blind. The officer refused, but the teen
persevered and simplified the process himself. You may have heard of the
boy -- Louis Braille. Never underestimate what your teen can do.
