I had a day care center for almost 6 years. When the sweet ones came to me asking a question, I would kneel to look at them eye to eye. OTOH, when discipline was needed, there was no kneeling. They understood.
I miss them..immensely.
You must have been reading my mind, because I was going back over the photos and thinking the same thing. Having been a teacher, I can understand Laura doing that, but GWB seems to do it intuitively. I'm not sure if that's typical of most men -- to try to get down to a child's level.
