Thank you for sharing. I think that you must be a wonderful father. Hearing you talk brings back memories of my own life.

I did a guest activity with my son's 5th grade class where I talked with them about rights. I had learned that they were studying the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, half of which are not rights at all. I wanted to do a little damage control for their young minds, so I asked the teachers if I could give a talk, and surprisingly they said yes.

Anyway, apropos of your point that "A beginner's mind has something to teach us"…I was BLOWN AWAY by the sophisticated innate understanding of rights that all children possess. It was a life-changing 90 minutes!
