Reinventing the extended family — When you have a brand new baby it’s really, really sweet to sit and talk to somebody who’s been through this.

We all need support — There’s a particular kind of people that you need in your lives and one of the people that we need as a part of our support group would be somebody who can hold you through the night.

Children need solitude — If I could do anything with the list that I have of conditions that have to exist I would move solitude up to almost the top and mostly because of the world we live in. We never have time alone. We don’t respect that in children.

A sense of humor — The ability for human beings to just guffaw. And when you think about the last time you ever heard anybody do that, people don’t just guffaw. Kids do. They just laugh. I remember laughing as a kid and my mother saying for us to stop it because it was way out of hand and you’re crying, you’re laughing, you’re trying not to laugh. It’s that kind of wonderful humor that has to exist in our world. The ability to laugh at ourselves. The ability to just guffaw.
