The piece outlines steps for raising a well rounded family amid shifting social standards. It highlights the need for flexibility, involvement in group actions, after school programs, and keeping children busy to deter trouble.

The piece traces Mother's Day from Anna Reeves Jarvis in Grafton West Virginia to a worldwide observance now embraced by about 95 percent of Americans and over 100 countries.
