Either I'm bossy... or my son is a comedian.

"I know you keep telling me what a great bachelor I'm going to be, but without a Mom around to remind me to do stuff I don't know how I'm going to get anything done."

John and Charlotte would agree on this...

"Birds fly, fish swim; man thinks and learns. Therefore, we do not need to "motivate" children into learning, by wheedling, bribing, or bullying. We do not need to keep picking away at their minds to make sure they are learning. What we need to do, and all we need to do, is bring as much of the world as we can into the school and the classroom; give children as much help and guidance as they need and ask for; listen respectfully when they feel like talking; and then get out of the way. We can trust them to do the rest." - John Holt, in How Children Learn
