What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? My children are so much fun.  Lily is 9, and William is 6, and I think these are my favorite ages so far.  I have to say one of my favorite things to do with them is to read.  We read all sorts of things like chapter books or animal encyclopedias. Lily now...

The Hogans were looking forward to getting a new car.  Their car ran well most of the time.  Sometimes, however, out of the blue, it wouldn’t start.  It was really tired looking, too.  The old green paint was dull and the car had scratches and a few dents.  This car was going to become Bill’s station car and they were buying a navy blue minivan. Eileen Hogan was excited to at last have a brand new...

What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? My daughter will turn 6 this month.  My sons are 4 years old and 21 months.  I like to play outside with them.  We ride bikes, play soccer, build sandcastles, etc.  They really enjoy it and I do too.  My greatest wish is simply that they find happiness in life. When and where are you the...

    What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? Our sons Sean and Quinn are 19 and 14. As they have grown, what we do together has evolved. It is an amazing journey watching the transformation from toddlers to teens. One thing that has not changed is the time we always find to have amazing conversations. They are never planned and can happen at...

On Friday the little boys got out of school at noon.  Leo’s mother had arranged to bring Leo and his friend Willy home to play.  But then during the morning, Ward’s mother, Jessie had called her. “I hear Leo and Willy are having a play date,” she began.  “Is there any way you could take Ward too?  Something just came up and I need to park him somewhere for a few hours.” Betsy didn’t know Ward at...

What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? I have two sons: Zafran is 5 and Indi is 7 months old.  With Zafran I love to beat-box (vocal percussion) while he freestyles (makes up songs) about his toys over my beat.  I am always astonished by what he can create and I just love to watch how he expresses himself through dance!  We...

What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them? I love to spend time in our Brooklyn neighborhood with my boys, 7 and 5.  After 14 years, I have never appreciated my neighborhood more than on the days when we are enjoying the playground, a local restaurant or even the grocery store cereal aisle while laughing with friends we’ve made along the way.  I...

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,...

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...

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...
