A family is a group with the common goal of group survival and advancement. The child not allowed to contribute or failing to understand the goals and working principles of family life is cast adrift from the family. He is shown he is not part of the family because he can’t contribute. So he becomes antifamily—the first step on the road to being antisocial. He spills milk, annoys your guests and yells outside your window in “play.” He’ll even get sick just to make you work. He is shown to be nothing by being shown that he isn’t powerful enough to contribute.
You can do nothing more than accept the smiles, the dances, the sticks of the very young. But as soon as a child can understand, he should be given the whole story of the family operation.
