Some of us have children. The artist was masterful not only in her technical skill but also in her way with people. But celebrating those little pieces of knowledge and skills as positive can also be helpful to your wellness. I’m glad to be known that way. Like all people, my insides broil and burble with the stresses of life.

One director of a children's museum even told me that they "eventize" normal operations--calling a Saturday a "family festival" without changing the planned programming--to draw more people. Zoos, aquaria, science and children's museums boast a significant "anytime" audience of families who return again and again.
