Muffled giggles coming from the Bryants’ playroom fall silent when Hannah Osborne starts her countdown outside the door.
“Three, two, one…ready or not, here I come!” The routine usually starts when Osborne arrives at the house and rings the doorbell. The children tell their mother, Kelly, not to open the front door until they are hidden. Once she finds and tags 6-year-old Lillian, 7-year-old Sam, and 11-year-old Joshua creatively tucked into corners and behind furniture in the playroom, the children are content to allow their parents to spend time with Osborne, a case manager from MCH Family Outreach in Waco.
Methodist Children’s Home launched a pilot program in July to provide free professional counseling services for individuals and families in the community. The pilot project is initially being offered through the MCH Family Outreach offices in Waco and Abilene.

It’s been a long day and Teri Brent is focused on getting dinner put together. Spring storm clouds are rolling across northwest Houston, so her two grandchildren are staying inside and available to help set the table. Ta’Nia, a willowy 10-year-old, smiles as she talks about her gymnastics classes and her 8-year-old brother, Terynce, lines up napkins and looks for an opportunity to show the sequence he is learning in his martial arts class.
