"What do affluent families not have a lot of? Time. And it takes a lot of time to raise a teenager." - Geraldine Greene, executive director of the Scarsdale, NY Family Counseling Service, in this NY Times article earlier this month: A Binge by Teenagers Leads a Village to Painful Self-Reflection.

Thanks to Jan Weller, who is working on a Families and Democracy initiative at MacPhail, for the email alert. "This article seems to highlight so many of the issues of family and time and the failures of 'programs' to address them," wrote Jan.
