Raising children forces adults into a life marked by spit-up stains, poopy diapers, homework assignments, soccer games, ballet recitals, hugs and kisses, circles under the eyes and, for those of us who work, bucketloads of guilt. Most of us eventually come to terms with the physical trials of parenting, such as the reality that from time to time during our tour of duty, we will be vomited on. We become feeding, clothing and carpooling experts. But we never quite know what to do with the guilt...

...family breakfast and a lazy morning and an afternoon of outside play or a museum trip or whatever else strikes the family's fancy. Monday, they all know, will come soon enough, and the girls will be going back to the high-stakes race of schoolwork and homework and ballet or chess or soccer practice. But until then, they are going to have a chance to breathe. "My children," Ben-Ari insists, "will have all the time they need simply to hang out and be children...
