SIMPLICITY

                                                  SIMPLICITY

                               Wrote Sir John Reynolds, "Simplicity is an
                               exact medium between too little and too 
                               much."
 
                               Perhaps under this definition, simplicity could
                               also be designed as the middle ground between
                               too much-too soon, and too little-too late.
                               This is particularly true when raising children.
              
                               To stay within the bounds between over and 
                               under indulgence is often a difficult task. When
                               to reign in and when to let go, who knows?
                               Boundary decisions are often arduous. Common
                               sense is often developed or improved as we
                               form boundaries and set or widen limits. And 
                               often we learn by making mistakes.
                         
                               When and where possible, draw your children
                               close to you while they are young. If you 
                               become too strict or use too much force when 
                               your children are young, you may lose their
                               companionship when they are older.
