You shouldn't forbid your children from talking to you.
Art establishes a rule  with children.
Art wants to raise and be the leader of his family.
Art sets an open door policy with his kids telling him that he is always there to talk even if he will be disappointed in what they do.
"Art set a ""do not speak unless spoken to"" policy with his kids and punishes them strictly when they violate it."
Art develops a strong bond with all of his kids and now spends his days with his grandchildren.
The kidsrefuse to stay in touch with him as soon as they move out, and he is lonely when he gets old.
