whoa
   heat n exasperation.
the knowledge of development in children is well along toward acceptance today. i
am an adult and i would ,
havin raised a couple, not presume that a child could make informed , reasoned
decisions on what was best for their welfare. i give adults the benefit of the
doubt but six year olds are not equipped to make those decisions. you give your
child that decision and i'll find you negligent and endangering to that child.
 an adult size ego , is that a slam ?
 as to the respect position  there is no disrespect in advocating a reasoned
approach over the emotional response. do what's right, is subjective. hell has no
place in this discussion. we all have our own demons with which we color our
views.
