As parents, we want what is best for our children. We ensure they wear their seat belts, we read to them, make sure they brush their teeth, look both ways before crossing and stay away from danger.

They don't like vegetables and it seems like they are in charge. At the same time, we notice that they are freq …

Just kidding. Maybe. Open to everyone but focused on the tiny generation born between the years 1965 and 1985.

A Living Family: Your support, Your Family. When I was a child, my parents would tell me stories of their childhoods growing up in India. Living communally, in a compound with extended families, the children grew and played together while the adults shared together in the joys and tasks of daily life. Even as a child, I understood the power of community to enrich the life of the individual. I gather that it was a difficult time, making life happen with the resources available, but I also heard t …
