We moved from New York City to a small town in Argentina. People are far more patient with my kids here.

The author feels that adults are more understanding of kids in Argentina than in the US.

• My family moved from New York to Argentina for a slower life.
• In our years here, I've noticed that Argentines are far more patient with kids in public spaces.
• I don't want to raise kids who never question things and just follow rules.

I recently met with friends at the mall food court in Salta, Argentina, to catch up after a monthlong trip to the US.
