I remember one of the first times our younger daughter Amber vented her anger at me for something I did. In reality, it was something I didn''t do that made her mad. She had asked me to help her with a paper she was writing for a middle school class. The paper required a lot of research, and Amber didn''t know how to go about doing the research."There''s nothing to it," I assured her flippantly. Then instead of showing her what she needed to do, I simply told her to get started, explaining that she would figure out how to do the research as she went along.She let out an exasperated sigh. "But Dad, I don''t know how to--""Amber, just get started," I insisted with authority, "and you''ll figure it out." Then I left the room.(from the introduction)When the author understood his mistake, he was able to go and talk with his daughter.
