PP,

Moving closer to the final draft. I am going to ask you try this:

Imagine for a moment that you are me and have the Ms. Wonka hat on here. What would you think I would write in response to your W? Go on...try it.

Take your second draft and use the Wonka magnifying glass to scrutinize it for further changes, additions, improvements and deletions.

More hints:

-drop defensiveness
-do not reinforce the negatives by mentioning them
-focus and praise competency/ability on both sides
-find areas of common/mutual agreement
-a furbaby is no different from a human child
