I
went to a birthday party for my granddaughter. She turned eight
years old. A hoard of children were going to be there and we would
be in a park with a splash pad. What could go wrong? My imagination
had many suggestions. None were fulfilled.
I would guess
that we had about 15 children present. The ages range from about
four to 13. What was really amazing was that there were absolutely no
problems. We had no fights and no injuries. At no time did it seem
to occur to the children that they could fill a bucket with water and
dump it on an adult. They politely asked when they wanted to sample
the goodies that were available.
Such children do exist.
The one factor I did not mention is that they were all home schooled.
I suggest that had something to do with it.
