RECENTLY, I offered my four-year-old daughter a new book, but she refused to touch it. She only wanted her old book titled Emily’s Day. When I insisted on giving her the new book, she got angry and threw it away.
While her action shocked me, I also realised that she was starting to make her own decisions. And it looked like she wanted to keep reading her old book and didn’t want to be distracted by another one.
