You know, Dinah, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. He's at an age where I'm starting to sense that he wants and probably needs a little more freedom, but I think it's a fine line. I guess if I give him independence when I know that the worst thing that might happen is he throws his socks away, that's probably not a bad time to do it.
> Or you could use natural consequences...Your son might like the feel of sockless shoes. :)Being my son, I can't imagine he would. I can't stand the way that feels! Then again, he surprises me everyday.
