Swing Time
Each of the little kids has a swing, a trampoline, or both in their room. Bettie says, "I used to think it was a bad idea to stir the kids up while they're in the house, especially after dinner. But we've found that when the kids bounce on the trampoline, they don't bounce off the walls." (Go to jumpsport.com for mini- and full-sized trampolines, starting at $130.) And the swings bring them back down to earth. (See hammocks.com for indoor swings starting at $50.) "The first real conversation I ever had with Zack was on the swing in his room," says Bettie. "He was able to get his thoughts orga-nized and talk to me. It was so soothing."
