Yesterday was David's birthday and we had guests. I left dishes in the sink when I went to bed. I got up early with the dogs but then went back to bed. When I got up later Dylan had done the dishes.He said "I know you really like to do the dishes mom, so I hope you don't mind, but I just felt like doing them."
Dylan is twelve.

Remember that your child is a whole separate person. |
I believe that if children learn happily, without pressure and without shame, that they will continue to do so for the rest of their lives. |
