A wise parent humors the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and advisor when his absolute rule shall cease.
I took group lessons at a rink near my home. We first had to learn how to stand up on the ice wearing skates. Eventually we learned to move forward, but soon found out that it was not that easy to stop! So that was our next important lesson.
We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.
