| Because of their size, parents may be difficult to discipline properly. |
| Children from the age of five to ten should watch more television. Television depicts adults as rotten SOB's, given to fistfights, gunplay, and other mayhem. Kids who believe this about grownups aren't likely to argue about bedtime. |

| Earnestness is stupidity sent to college. |

| Even very young children need to be informed about dying. Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make threatening him with it much more effective. |
