[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a parent of young kids (toddler and baby). I need your help to think about the home environment I’m creating for them so they always are excited to come home as adults. Obviously, I know first and foremost will be cultivating a loving and safe emotional space for them, but I’m asking about whether there are any environmental aspects that could tip the scale. What do your adult kids love returning to?

For example, Californians seem to always make it back there after a few years in NYC.

Ideas:
- living in California
- family games you always played
- traditions tied to the house (eg, harvesting from the garden, super awesome neighborhood for Christmas decor)
- lots of pets/farm animals
- beautiful property
- pool/fun hangout spot for kids to bring friends [/quote]

Lots of pets, a pool, and the expectation that I would do manual labor and play specific games would make me scared with young children, and much less likely to come home, as would to cost of plane ticket to California.

Neighborhood decor and what the property looked like would not factor into my choice.  [/quote]
