Flute lesson, I held the baby!

I've had mothers read to my children in their cars while I was teaching their children. Our younger son would be running out the door with a book as the car pulled up.

There are so many ways of dealing with children. My best success was to teach a 4th grader to read. The mother, rich and intellectual, had tried everything that money could give. I asked for a book with lots of pictures in sports, the only subject he was interested in. And quickly discovered that he had hyperkinetic disorder. So when I saw him fidgeting too much, I told him to go to the garden and run around a big plum tree I had. When he came back, I offered him a banana or an orange and we started again. We loved each other. And I did not care much for his too cold mother.

there must be no one to take care of that toddler
