Words from Savvy, age 6

Savvy:
Mom. Dad. When will you learn that no matter what system* you try to use to improve my behaviour, it's not going to work. Whether you choose star charts, time outs, time ins, a song on the couch, and now this stupid take-away-a-star thing, all of these systems actually just bring about worse behaviour than at the start. There is no point.

Mom:
Ok, Savvy, so what would you have us do to help you learn right from wrong, and to learn respectful, kind behaviour.

Savvy:
Nothing. Just let me be. Let me figure it out.

*yes, she used the word "system".

Definitely CEO material (both of them), not surprising when you see what stock they came from, do you agree Francie??
