Everyone [of my kids] can ride a bike now, so the park has had a big resurgence in our life. We also play a lot of dumb drawing games.
Disneyland really began when my two daughters were very young. Saturday was always Daddy's Day and I would take them to the merry-go-round, and sit on a bench eating peanuts while they rode. And sitting there alone, I felt there should be something built, some kind of family park where parents and children could have fun together.
No, my step-daughter just opened a theatre school for children, I have another daughter who works in the record industry and another who is going back to collage and I have two little ones at home.
If there's a kids' corner at a party, that's where you'll find me.
I read while the kids play. I can see them from the kitchen window. And I'm a fast reader.
The gruel that children's little hands have stirredIs sweeter than nectar.
Some of the best times I've spent in Colorado have been in the backcountry with my mom and siblings, and more recently, with my own kids. That is why I'm concerned to see today's kids spending more time browsing the Internet than exploring nature.
They have Easter egg hunts in Philadelphia, and if the kids don't find the eggs, they get booed.
We can't blame children for occupying themselves with Facebook rather than playing in the mud. Our society doesn't put a priority on connecting with nature. In fact, too often we tell them it's dirty and dangerous.
I know what it's like to have a young child at the weekend and feel like there is nothing to see in the movie theatre. Family is so important.
I was a little stunned that we didn't get a coloring book with this menu.
Easter is one of my favorite holidays with the kids. They get to run loose, and we always have our family and loved ones all around us!
Before Huey was 5, I could take him to work with me. Now, though, he has sports and lessons and friends, and it's not fair to remove him from his whole life.
I'm so busy right now, it's the beginning of the hockey season for my kids.
It should be noted that children at play are not playing about; their games should be seen as their most serious-minded activity.
I love kids. All my best friends have kids, and I love, love, love kids.
I have the Muji pen that has different colors. My daughter loves to play hangman, or we draw. It's important you can draw a rainbow at all times.
I wanted to be a father, and I wanted to be involved in my children's athletics, school stuff like that.
I do not care what you do, and that is hard for you to hear. Yet do you care what your children do when you send them out to play? Is it a matter of consequence to you whether they play tag, or hide and seek, or pretend? No, it is not, because you know they are perfectly safe. You have placed them in an environment which you consider friendly and very okay.
I love it right now. I love being retired. I think I retired at a perfect time in my career. Now I get an opportunity to spend time with my wife and kids and get to be very supportive of them. My son is playing football right now. My daughter is in gymnastics. Both are competing at a high level. So it came at the right time.
I prefer a change of surroundings anyway, and I like to be around some energy and white noise, so I usually go to a Barnes & Noble cafe or to the library on 5th and 42nd. In the afternoons, I do research, reading, editing, and play with the kids.
I started performing with the Boston Children's Opera when I was 5, and I stayed working with that group until I was about 12 or 13, so that was a huge part of my life. It was, weirdly, an extremely professional environment geared towards kids.
Now's the time when children's noses All become as red as roses And the colour of their faces Makes me think of orchard places Where the juicy apples grow, And tomatoes in a row.
Children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.
I have plans to send my little daughter and son into dancing because I'd love for them to enjoy it too.
