Teaching Children Self-Government

The object of parental government is to teach the child to govern himself; and the faster you can bring him to the knowledge of self-government the better, even if he gains that knowledge by making mistakes. Allow a large margin for the child's weaknesses, and for the mistakes that spring from those weaknesses; and let him find out his own mistakes, and learn for himself the way back again to the right course.
