That is a good one. Let me tell you one that involves adult disagreement:

As the primary caregiver, I learned to anticipate trouble quite a bit before it happened. Not only that, but I also learned that I could not afford to indulge my son too much. Thus, on walks I would sometimes get into little arguments with my wife about my tendency to try to move him along after giving him a couple of minutes to stop and explore, or have mild disagreements when I seemed to be a little overly protective.

As time went on, sometimes she would take him for a walk by himself. She learned that he would not listen to her very well when she wanted to move on, until she would get frustrated, because he was used to her being the indulgent one. She also had a couple of small mishaps (like falling in a shallow stream) because she was being nice, and was not on the lookout for the risk. I had tried to explain, but I could not prove the points, and only her own experience brought it home.
