Weekends at home with the kids are full of action. Non stop action.
And noise. Lots and lots of noise.
All of which leads me to wonder . . .
When do we stop running to get from one end of the room to the other? When do we stop giggling for hours on end? When do we stop recovering from hurts — real, imagined, emotional, physical — within moments? When do we stop embracing and saying *I love you* just because the spirit moves us?
These activities seem to be the things that keep our kids fit and happy (and often us parents exhausted and drained!), but I wonder when they stop? At age 6? 10? 15? When do daily life and / or child development meet and level these activities? Grade school? Junior High?
When?
