Hi Don:
Well, I am a father. Three daughters. The eldest is in happy birthday to
day, 17 years. They are happy and smart. And I have puted limits to
them, BUT NOT in self expression. They may follow the rules in behaviour
to avoid self damage, etc, but they are free to express what they thinks
and they do all the time. I think that is a good mixture: free speech
and thinking, disciplined behaviour.
Regards
Fernando
