Borrow a few and watch them with your child or while he naps. If your child is old enough, a children's theater production might be just the ticket for the whole family. Treat yourself to a good book, either one you buy or one from the library. A child who sees that a parent values reading will often develop a love of reading too. You can listen to books on tape while you are in the car.

A stroll through an art museum will give your son a chance to look at colors, shapes, and forms and give you an opportunity to share the art you love. Celeste Suter Montevideo MN USA Response One of the ways I have stayed involved with intellectual pursuits and still met the needs of my children is to get involved with La Leche League. My children are always welcome and if I need time off because of my family there is never any pressure. At the same time, I have been able to write for publications, speak at conferences, get involved with fundraising and managing the Group's finances, and participate in other aspects of the organization that are similar to working in a business or in an academic setting. Some librarians even present a book report to the Group each month, letting everyone know what books are available.
