[blparent] kids and the park

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Are your children sighted?  If you go and get a general idea of the park 
layout when you don't have all of them with you, that might help.  The older 
ones will be handy to keep track of the baby, especially if they know to 
come when you call them.  If you take the toddler by him- or herself, you 
could follow along closely or put bells on the shoes, or a box of Tic-Tacs 
in a pocket so you can track that way.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
