This is definitely true. Children are a topic of conversation that most people 
have in common, and children often benefit from another pair of eyes. And a 
caregiver watching a child in the tot lot is open to conversation.

People walking dogs have the same effect. We used to have a resident who walked 
her cats.

Sitting in the CH working a jigsaw puzzle. Between 5 and 7, you will see
