The other
day, one of my teenagers was trying to convince us that she deserved a new
privilege. She made quite a case for it,
but we were not budging. Then her
younger brother got in on the act. He
wrote us a note about why his older sister deserved the privilege: "she
will learn something new" and "it will make her feel
responsible." He also explained
that she would eventually stop being mad at me. "I also think if you give her time, she
will let you into her world," he assured me. Much to my surprise, my daughter prevailed. Her brother felt responsible for her
success. For my part, I was thrilled
that he had come to her assistance.
