Hoover Institute Fellow Mary Eberstadt on parents and their teenagers:

> It seems that having a warm adult body on the premises is good for two reasons: It exerts a chilling effect on certain perennial temptations; and it just plain makes most kids happy to be around their family routinely rather than being alone. . . For a variety of reasons--divorce, working motherhood and shrinking family size--children are more separated from their parents and other family members than they used to be . . . The mere presence of their parents matters more to children than many people in our feminist-influenced world seem to realize. *Touchstone*, May 2005, p. 55\. No link available.
