2). Walk and Talk
3). Use the potty
4). Get along with other kids
5). Independence (school)
6). Learning what is good language and what is not.

11). Here comes the license.

This I find very amusing. If you want to stunt your child's growth by all means tell the child to sit down and be quiet. If a child asks a question I find even as adult children if I answer then with complete honesty and trust them as individuals then they have the room to grow.
Instead of sitting them down I would take then to the park as youngsters and let them explore, let them have some freedom and I sure the heck wouldn't have been able to do that if I stunted their growth. Children really do learn what they live.
Creativity, imagination, love, respect, and trust are a huge factor in bringing up a child I do believe.

Ha ha.
They learn to walk and talk before they're two. But by the time they're five they can become shy (and on occasion even lazy).
You spend the first three years teaching them to write, play, draw and dress themselves. The next fifteen are spent trying to get them clean up the mess they made.

Yes it's true. I find the age of 11 going on 12 to be particularly trying.

No, not true. I never have to tell my children to sit down and be quiet. It is all about how you teach your children manners and rules.

Yes this is very true. Also when they start walking and talking you began to ponder the reason why you thought it was necessary to add children to the relationship.

Absolutely...
The first 18 months of my daughters life I couldn't wait for her to walk so I could play with her...
...within three days I just wanted her to sit still for 5 minutes.
Oh dear god she won't stop running!!!

Human nature below maximum circumstances enable for infants to communicate with directness. that is that comparable kindness that helps childrens to be corrupted via secrets and methods, thoughts untold and lies forth with to cover what's a sprint lesson in correctness to develop right into a painful trial taught. those that refuse to verify generally repeat the comparable habit and develop into untrusted adults. those comparable adults then develop into scared to be found out and result to be hiding their inner selves in a coat of secrecy which ability to be oblique and evasive. people are in basic terms born with 2 thoughts in existence. the will for romance and to be enjoyed and the will for survival. Which brings us to GOD and CHRIST and why the affection infants lots. The Honesty they have until now they grew to become corrupt via our sinful techniques of myth.
