What Every Child Needs

According to Nanny McPhee, there are five lessons every child must learn: (1) Go to bed when told (and to say "please"); (2) Get out of bed when told; (3) Get dressed when told (and to say "thank you"); (4) Listen; and (5) Do as told. According to my grandson Reed, who was 8 at the time (now 14), there are five things every child needs: (1) Be loved; (2) Be listened to; (3) Know they can learn; (4) Be thanked; and (5) Be taught. I think he is very wise.
