		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the time of year for thank-you notes! A habit I love to model and encourage in my children.

		<description><![CDATA[I have really been examining my listening skills lately. Realizing in that examination that often I am either distracted or I try to talk my kids and partner out of what they&#8217;re feeling or wanting or needing. Really.

		<description><![CDATA[This time of year there is much academic assessment going on. In schools across the country teachers are trying to determine what each child already knows as they cross the threshold of the classroom.

Even with our early rising for summer swim team, we don&#8217;t keep such an eye on bedtime because of the knowledge that a midday siesta is definitely a possibility. [...]]]></description>
