I've had so many proverb

 I've had so many people in recent years talk to me about a need to foster something like this in the community for adults. There are a lot for things for kids ... (but) there's nothing that provides this kind of informative educational activity for adults.

 Adults bones aren't as flexible as kids'. Kids are more reckless. Adults may be more sensible, but their bodies can't handle some things.

 [ADHD isn't just for kids anymore these days adults are being diagnosed with it in record numbers. New data released from Medco Health Solutions, a pharmacy benefits manager, indicates that about 1.5 million adults between the ages of 20 and 64 are currently taking medication to treat attention problems, up from 758,000 in 2000—and most of them were diagnosed well into adulthood. While there are still more kids taking ADHD medication—about 3.5 million—Dr. David Goodman, director of the Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Center in Baltimore, expects the number of adults taking the drugs to continue to rise.] Many adults who for years have been called lazy, crazy or stupid, ... are realizing the problem may be in their brain.

 We are five people who enjoy each other's company and we are all grown ups, ... That is the curious thing about us. There is not like, 'Here are the little kids, the teenagers and the adults.' I am not saying we are all one generation but, basically, we are five adults in New York and we are all single.

 When taught and modeled daily in the classroom we see that the core values help to reduce intolerance, harassment, bullying, teasing, and risky and aggressive behaviors. If we as adults are responsible and do our job as caring adults, children will feel safe and supported and they will enjoy positive relationships with peers and adults. They will know and understand what is expected of them and the rules and expectations are consistent. All of these things will help facilitate learning for all children and success at home and in school and their community.

 In dealing with kids, no matter how little we understand their explanations, we must always remember that we're the adults. What this means I have no idea. It certainly means nothing to the kids, who instinctively seem to know that adults are merely strange people who have dopey ideas like "Stop throwing peas at your sister."

 This is a great family event. It's fun for the kids and educational for adults.

 Christmas is the time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell government what they want and their kids pay for it.

 We as adults and parents have to send a message. We adults are not doing our jobs if we're telling kids not to go to school.

 What the adults teach them is what they see. And so, unfortunately, if it's not an important issue to the adults in their world around them, then kids aren't gonna get the message.

 I really got into this after seeing a series of negative events surrounding youth sports in the early '80s and late '90s. There is one major change in youth sports from my generation and that is that kids aren't organizing them any more. It's done by adults. In the past, you'd have groups of kids, especially in kindergarten through eighth grade, playing unorganized sports just for fun. Things are becoming too organized and too competitive. Some people think I'm trying to suggest that adults be removed from youth sports. I'm not. I'm suggesting the adult ego be removed from youth sports.

 Kids are constantly playing jokes on parents, and parents are thinking, 'If I could just get them back.' It's fantasy fulfillment for adults. We target it toward adults, but kids will want to watch, too.

 When we think of smoking, we tend to think of adults and older adults dying of lung cancer or emphysema. What we miss is the fact that they're dying as adults because of decisions they made as a child.

 As this recent report on exercise and dementia indicates, the long-term health benefits of regular physical activity for older adults are compelling.

 The biggest highlight is the fact that the community continues to invest in positive activities for teens. The first hurdle we had to overcome was getting people to recognize that so many kids want the opportunity to give back and do things adults will see as positive.
