That may not be there early---that comes later, where Juliette is now.<br />Some answers have to be "No, but here's why."<br /><br />You see everything in America. You see kids who think the world is all about them, and they run everywhere, disregarding seniors, adults, and even other children. But that may be an issue of parenting. As a teacher, I am always shocked at children who come up to two adults who are clearly having a conversation and who will intrude with their demands.

Again--parenting provides the fencelines.<br />But you don't adopt a parenting style to please in-laws. You have to do what's needed for the child, but what also may suit your philosophy. If you like to get down and play Lego and trains and make believe with your children, then you haven't lost that sense of wonder yourself!Lindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729656346990206611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115132896435909080.post-26210886729890962072014-11-14T23:21:33.312+01:002014-11-14T23:21:33.312+01:00Wow, they would probably have a field day with my ...Wow, they would probably have a field day with my teaching methods then!! It sounds kind of restrictive there? I truly believe that all children need to feel valued, heard and loved. They need space to make mistakes without any judgement beyond explanation.
