I always learned best when things were explained to me in a very rational, caring way. I honestly didn't understand a lot of standard behavior, and if someone could explain that what I was doing was hurting someone else, I would usually "get it".

Thanks for reminding me of something I learned a long time ago, and seem to have forgotten since having another child. A does so much better when he understands the "why" of things.
