ABSTRACT
Almost everything and everyone in life connects to something or someone else. The sun is a component of our galaxy, children are members of families, and public policymaking is part of the political system. More times than not, our connections are multiple and therefore quite complex, making relationships difficult to understand in their totality. The sun, while belonging to the galaxy, is host to numerous planets and moons, yet a relatively insignificant element of the universe. Children connect not only to their families but to schools, extended families, and informal friendship networks.
