		<description><![CDATA[Every day when I pick him up, it&#8217;s the same: &#8220;How was camp?&#8221; I ask. &#8220;Great!&#8221; he answers, still sweaty from the pickup football/soccer game he and his pals have just been playing.
Camp these last two weeks has been Future Builders, the everyone-can-come version for middle schoolers of Bridge Builders, which is something high schoolers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As many of my friends know by now, we have struggled this year with the fact that Tomas&#8217;s grades aren&#8217;t what they could be for reasons that seem really dumb to me: He often forgets to turn in his finished assignments, and loses points (and sometimes entire grades) because he doesn&#8217;t put his name on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So my column Sunday really touched a nerve &#8212; I have gotten lots of responses (a few below) to my observations about how Barack Obama&#8217;s Inauguration has changed the way our kids will see the world. I hadn&#8217;t really thought of it as a confession, but now that I think of it &#8230; it was. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to everyone who has called or written me to tell me how much they enjoyed my column Sunday about my pal Lydia and her struggle to understand her autism; I&#8217;m sorry it has taken me so long to post about it. As I wrote, ballet is Lydia&#8217;s passion, and fortunately her parents have found a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, moms, you know we get scary e-mails all the time about dangers to our kids, recalled products, etc., etc. But this one is real, and given that Halloween and Hanukkah are coming up, really scary. Seems that the Sherwood brand Pirate&#8217;s Gold milk chocolate foil-covered coins come from China, and contain the melamine that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems like the only political story breaking to me, but how important is John McCain&#8217;s choice of Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, to you, and what parts of her story have affected you most?
I have to say that I&#8217;m particularly focused on her family choices. Since she (and the McCain campaign) brought them [...]]]></description>

What I&#8217;m REALLY wondering about, though, is how an Airsoft gun is good for any kid. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes you come across a story that you just can&#8217;t believe, and here is my gasp-inducing story for today: From the Today show (hat tip to poynter.org, every journalist&#8217;s must-read) comes an amazing story about increasing trend of pre-teen girls getting BIKINI WAXES! OMG, it&#8217;s bad enough when you&#8217;re a grown-up to have to worry about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you read in my column Sunday, my son and a baseball had an unfortunate collision. More traumatic for Mom than for him, and it looks like he won&#8217;t lose any teeth. At the end of the column I asked readers to share a time they hurt for their kids &#8230; this from Vickie Sweeney [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, the celebs have been pulling out all the stops on the baby names lately, huh? Just this week we&#8217;ve had Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban and Levi Alves McConaughey. I think this latest round of the unusual was precipitated by Gwyneth Paltrow &#38; Coldplay&#8217;s Chris Martin naming their daughter &#8220;Apple.&#8221; Yes, Apple Martin, who you just [...]]]></description>
