His mother washed the dishes, then busied herself in his room for hours while he watched TV. When she came into the family room at eight o’clock and told him it was time to go to bed, he became enraged.

His Mother listened patiently to her four-year-old son’s tantrum without saying a word. When he had wound down, she told him he could stay up until ten o’clock and no longer.
