Quote
There is too much you must do this, you must do that, now it’s bathroom time, now it’s juice time, now put away your papers, now sit down, now stand up. When we say “Don’t,” we are too vague; too many of our rules are of the Be Careful, You-Might-Get-into-Trouble kind. And we have far too many Don’ts. As a result children have too little freedom of choice, or the choices they have are trivial. What I mean by freedom for children—and for all people—is More Choice, Less Fear.
