What your kid needs to know

The New York Times blog "Well" held a competition on what kids need to know in order to lead a healthy, wealthy, and wise life. And the winners are...

The top five things kids need to know:

1. Don’t be rude to the wait staff.
   
2. If you need help, ask for help.
   
3. It’s okay to go up the slide, even though the rules say you may only go
   down.
   
4. Learn the words “Thank You.” How to say it. How to receive it.
   
5. Always go outside when the sun is out.
