This leads me to feel that summer sleep-away camps have positive effects on children and should even be considered important to the development of a child.
Even a new playground or a community center where people form the neighborhood can meet, exchange idea or receive information about their town/city would be beneficial. Parents should spend some more time with their children doing an activity together (ex. doing a puzzle) because this really strengthens the bond between a parent and its child.

Throughout this interview process, it was extremely difficult to find a family not similar to mine. However after many weeks of searching, I found a wonderful family that lives not to far from my hometown, the Lindsay family. While interviewing this family, I spent approximately four hours at their small home in Lake City, TN. This experience was difficult and rewarding at the same time. To me, meeting new people is very hard because I am a really shy person. However, I strived to gather a lot of information from this family because it is very important to get a lot of details. So, therefore, this paper will explain my own family, the Lindsay family, and the comparison amongst our families.
