What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? My son, Uzi is 5 years old and my daughter, Wallis is 15 months.  I love taking them to the beach- no electronics, just good old fashion sand, water, and wind.  My greatest wish is that they are self-confident and they find careers that are gratifying to them. When and where are you the happiest? I am...

I liked my friend Marian very much, yet I wasn’t sold on her parenting skills.  One day, we arranged to meet at a park with our children.  Immediately, there was trouble. “Honey, we don’t play with sticks.  Chip, let’s not put that near Tyler’s face.  Okay?”  Marian’s voice lacked commitment as she spoke to her son. Chip lowered the stick for a few seconds and then went back at it.  He was waving the stick so close...

    What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? The boys are now 4 and 6, and we are an active bunch – always running around, for sports or no reason at all. But the projects I enjoy most are the ones that rely on imagination and craft – building forts out of branches and sheets, racetracks and rocket ships out of cardboard boxes...

What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? My daughter, Lila, just turned 5 and my son, Dar, will be 3 in August.  Nothing makes them (and me) happier than the beach, the sun and an arsenal of buckets and shovels.  I, like every mom on the planet, wish for them to lead healthy, happy lives.  Lives in which they wink at challenges,...

What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? I love playing with my children and making them laugh.  My daughter is 6 and my son is 4.  My greatest wish for them is that they are happy, healthy and love life.

Davis and Jamie Armstrong received a package from their grandparents, containing some small, beautiful metal cars and trucks.  The boys each had a favorite.  Jamie loved a green sports car and Davis loved the red bread truck.  They were having fun racing them around the windowsills, making perfect sounds for each. Watching them, Regina was delighted with the peaceful time.  She was just about to pay a few bills when the phone rang. “Regina?  Suzy Flinn.  We’re...

  What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? I have 3 boys who are 5, 3, and 1.5. I love to read to them, cook with them, and be outside with them while they forage around or go on family walks. My greatest wish for them is to be kind and content and find some things in life that make them tick. When and...

On Saturday morning, two brothers, Davis and Jamie, woke up really early.  Their parents, Regina and Tad Armstrong, were still asleep, so the boys went downstairs and put on the TV.  Soon they were watching a scary cartoon called Mean Dog.  It was a show their mother didn’t like them to watch. “I’m so hungry,” Davis said after the first show. Running upstairs, they jumped on their sleeping parents.  “Mommy, Daddy, get up!  We’re hungry!” Tad rolled over...

  What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them?  I love to hang out with my children, play games, jump on the trampoline, go to the beach and just listen to their stories and have fun conversations. I am intrigued by their extensive vocabulary. They are 7 and 8, and I wonder… how do they know that word?! I think every parent wants their...

There is no question that I like things to go well.  I also expect things to go as planned.  I am recently divorced and work from home.  Having two young boys to take care of is no snap.  Babysitters are often late, or are only interested in doing what they want, forgetting that the children are mine, that they work for me, and should comply with my requests.  I don’t want impromptu, spontaneous plans to...

Chris Miller and Joanie Crowe had been neighbors all six years of their young lives.  Their mothers and fathers were good friends.  Liz Miller and Julia Crowe enjoyed gardening and going to yard sales together.  The fathers shared a love of house projects and helped each other when they could. Everyday in the summer, Chris and Joan met at ‘their” rock which marked the property line in the middle of hilly fields. They always held hands...

Denny was working on a painting. He loved vibrant colors and for someone so young, his color sense was matched only by his love of doing art. Friends and relatives always looked forward to receiving examples of his work. Denny would paint on anything -- plywood scraps, cardboard, shells and even stones. Once he painted them, they were gorgeous. Summer was ending and Denny knew he would be beginning kindergarten soon. He had loved nursery school...

Charlie awakened to his mother’s laugh. She was in his baby brother, Finn’s room. Charlie got out of his new bed. A month before Finn was born, Charlie’s mother and father had told him that he was ready for a “big boy bed.” “You’re such a big boy now, Charlie. You’re going to be a wonderful big brother. You will love your new room.” Charlie had been mixed on the idea. He loved his crib and his...

Lizzy was drawing at a small wooden table in the kitchen. She liked to work in what she called her “office,” to be near her mother, Margaret. Tape, a few bright markers, a small box of crayons, and white paper were her “office supplies.” Lizzy drew a heart that finally met her high standard and was on her second one when the phone rang. Margaret answered the call with her usual cheerful greeting. “Good morning!” There...

She was thrilled to think that she would soon be dressing the baby and carrying her around. Plans of sleeping in the same room and walking to school holding hands were already in her head. “I can’t wait to take our baby to the beach and eat some...

Jane Reynolds was driving quickly to get Jack to his soccer game. As the last red light turned green, Jane said, “Jack, today how about thinking about what you are doing on the field?” Jack was touching the slippery fabric of his soccer shorts with his fingers. He dreamily nodded at his mother in the rearview mirror. They arrived at the soccer field as children in a variety of colored shorts and team shirts were joining their...

Backing out of the driveway, Jensen handed her son James a little red box. When he touched it, a robotic voice said, “Two and two are ___?” James dropped it on the floor. Jensen said, "Two and two are ___?” No answer. James was clearly thinking of something else. “James, tossing Number Master down will never help you.” James didn’t respond. Jensen fumed silently. “I was a math major at Harvard. I was a management consultant until a month...
