<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 523651, member: 4920"]I have nine young kids I've been giving my collection to, little by little, since they were, well, very little. Now, don't go there with this one, Doug...they're not all mine <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />D)! But, invariably, whenever I "caution" them, I can "see" it on some of their faces, some of them just aren't "getting it," and just can't wait to get out of there and "pull the trigger." That's why I now always conclude such "lectures" with, if you have to do it, just make sure you do it small. I'm a firm believer, some people just need to make the mistakes, themselves, in order to learn. Better they take their lumps, now, while the damage is small, rather that later, when it could be very big, because they <i>never </i>learned. Just my philosophical approach on these hard, stubborn types. I feel you get a lot further along when you give your "permission" to experiment, experience and "learn" for themselves, rather than by reprimanding them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
