Were you that kid who found a creative way around it when you heard the word 'no'? I know I was, and I expect many of you were too. I was mostly good at sticking to the rules, but there was always a line I was willing to step over—and that line for me was staying up late on a Friday night, sneaking up the hallway and peering through the door just to watch a little bit more TV. The more I was told I could not stay up past my bedtime, the more I was determined to do it.

Pushing the boundaries is something kids are great at.
