Poolside Helicopter Parent: It's Not What You Think

If you've been at our local YMCA pool during late afternoons this summer, you've seen me. I'm the "Helicopter Mom" that you saw there. Yes, THAT mom. The one that you watched coolly from your deck chair as you occasionally glanced up from your book to make sure your child--younger than mine--was still around...somewhere. Yes, I was THAT mom. The one that apparently didn't get the memo about how hovering over my child was both harmful...and so uncool. I was the one that you, and everyone else (including the lifeguard), noticed because I was the only mom who: Was never more than 10 feet away from her child, though the child had a green wrist band indicating that the child could, to the satisfaction of the lifeguard, swim across the pool and back and tread water for at least 60 seconds.

Five minutes ago we were simply a normal family out shopping on an early weekday afternoon--mom, dad, and young teen. I was helping my husband David pick out new frames for his glasses. Plastic or wire frames? We'd settled on wire. Should he stick with his current look of small circular frames--or try somethin...

The Nature of Hope in Intractable Epilepsy

Will there really be a morning? Is there such a thing as day? Could I see it from the mountains If I were as tall as they? Has it feet like water lilies? Has it feathers like a bird? Is it brought from far off countries Of which I've never heard? Oh some scholar Oh, some sailor Oh, some wise man from the skies Please to tell a little pilgrim Where the place called morning lies --by Emily Dickenson It's been a rough week. Most weeks with intractable epil...
