Dr. William Glasser told about the time when he was preparing to give his son a bath. At that time the little boy was five years old. The Glassers had two tubs--a large one that would have allowed the little boy to kick and splash and a smaller one which had been used when he was little. The little boy asserted his rugged individualism--otherwise described as "stubborn independence"--and announced that he wanted his bath in the small tub even though he knew the larger tub was easier to fill.
