child interaction
I really liked talking about child interactions within the family and all of the different stories from his children to the one with the boy that went to church in his pants. I think that it is really important to give children choices rather than saying this is what you are doing whehter you like it not with giving them choices they are able to make decisions. I remember a tv show called yes dear and they were having troubles with their son wearing handy down clothes. The dad said to his son that if he does not get dressed then he will just go to the store in his underwear and well the son went into the store in his underwear, this just shows that children have a mind of their own and they need to use that in order to see what decision are right. Child interaction in the family is important because your children are learning from you through either observing or what you say to them.

I think it is very important to give children choices when they are young. This just helps build on their independence. Whether its what they are wearing or if they want peas or carrots, options are huge to children. They are not only important for a child's growth and independence but also they enjoy it. I worked in a daycare for 2 years in the children from age 6 months to 18 months. We were giving the children options as soon as they were able to choose. It makes them feel better about themselves as well. As if they accomplished something. Letting a child expand his own creativeness and knowledge is very important in a child's growth.
