[quote=Anonymous]I had to close the door repeatedly on a very talkative, energetic and independent 5 year old, because he disrupted our home life to an unacceptable degree, through no fault of his own. I like him and I like his parents, who are very nice people but from a "let kids wander around "culture. Eventually he got it and found occupations elsewhere. I treated another child differently a few years ago, because he was absolutely maintenance-free. He would walk in quietly, sit on the couch and listen to my daughter practice her violin. It was lovely. He would compliment her on her play, then join her in whatever she was doing. I would offer him a snack, or dinner, since he was so sweet and undemanding, but he hardly ever ate at our house and would just slip quietly away. Now they've moved and I actually miss him :-) [/quote]
