One hot Wednesday in a swimming pool. One woman and five children, ranging from four to ten or eleven. Two older boys, three girls. Mom sat comfortably under a big white umbrella. Children were busy swimming, chasing each other, going in and out of the pool, running here and there making mayhem. Once or twice someone cried because someone accidentally did something. But none ran or called out to the woman to be a tattletale, they just resolved their own problem. She just sat and observed her children quietly from afar. No meddling, no instructions, no yelling, no nannies, no gadgets, no drama.
