“As parents, we’re the architects of our family’s daily lives. We build a structure for those we love by what we choose to do together, and
how we do it. We determine the rhythms of our days; set a pace.
There are certainly limits to our control…Ask any parent of a teenager. And it often feels that our lives are controlling us, caught as we are in a mad rush from one responsibility to another. Yet this unique way that
we perform this dance of daily activities says a lot about who we are as
a family.”
