Teach Your Children Well

Last night I was watching a community concert by the Over the Hill Musical Society at Jackson Square in Batavia. In front of me were two families each with two young children. In one family, the children ran wildly, spending their time antagonizing each other, and freequently ending in tears as their parents watched ineffectively. In the family left left early, all in rather poor spirits. The other family had two equally active children. The took turns dancing and laughing with their children, often kissing and hugging them. They left obviously glad to be with each other. What kind of adults do you think these four children will make?
