You know how we are forever trying to remove obstacles from our child's path? Drive the homework to school, clean up their room, absorb their strong emotions, give them money whenever they ask? Read on fellow parents. . . . read on.

My freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly I limit my field of action and the more I surround myself with obstacles. Whatever diminishes constraint diminishes strength. The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees one's self of the chains that shackle the spirit.

Igor Stravinsky
