A BAD FEELING
Interior page from a children's picture book that I am working on, titled "The Mysterious Monster March"
----------------------------------------------------------
Worries begin to grow. The monsters realize they are now far away from home and are entering a world that no one has ever been before.

Ask anyone who was nine in 1978 what they did on a Saturday and the answer is usually some version of: nothing in particular, for hours. That answer used to be ordinary. It is not anymore, and the shift can be measured. Sociologists Sandra Hofferth and John Sandberg, in their study 'Changes in American Children's Time, 1981–1997,' used two large time-diary datasets to track what American children aged three to twelve actually did across their weeks.
