The world of children has so much more to offer. The magic is only there for a short time. The time a child can fly is so short-lived. To clip his wings is cruel. I think that if we thought more of the children's needs and less of the need for adults to modify them and to receive accolades for their behavior, we will best serve the needs of everyone.
Children are neither bad or good.
They are a work in process. There is more to be learned from a mistake than from doing something right. I have always encouraged my children to question authority. My own authority included. Being a person who is comfortable questioning the status quo can cause great things to happen.
