When a hobo told Andy he should just let Opie "decide for himself" how he wanted to live… Andy had these words of wisdom.
"No, I'm afraid it don't work that way. You can't let a young’n decide for himself. He'll grab at the first flashy thing with shiny ribbons on it. Then, when he finds out there's a hook in it, it's too late. Wrong ideas come packaged with so much glitter that it's hard to convince ‘em that other things might be better in the long run. All a parent can do is say 'wait' and 'trust me' and try to keep temptation away."
Somehow... we have lost this basic truth. Too many people are more worried about being their child’s friend, than in being a parent.

When you see a child crying uncontrollably on the floor of a supermarket or anywhere, before you blame the child's parents, before you judge the child, stop. You may be seeing Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. That child may be anxious or overwhelmed from seeing, hearing or smelling something new. Stop judging. Stop blaming. Try to understand and move on. Always choose kindness and acceptance. sensoryprocessingdisorderparentsupport.com
