Parenting Y
the difficult task of saying "no" and
when is it "O.K." to allow your child some room to
experiment and push boundaries
They mustn't know my despair, I can't let them see the wounds which they have caused, I couldn't bear their sympathy and their kind-hearted jokes, it would only make me want to scream all the more. If I talk, everyone thinks I'm showing off; when I'm silent they think I'm ridiculous; rude if I answer, sly if I get a good idea, lazy if I'm tired, selfish if I eat a mouthful more than I should, stupid, cowardly, crafty, etc. etc. -- Anne Frank
Only those who risk going to far can possibly find out how far one can go. - T.S. Eliot
