The way we speak about young children...
Imagine if your life partner spoke about you in the ways many adults talk about young children...
"He is such a baby! Crying about nothing all the time!"
"She had a HUGE meltdown because she doesn't like the word no!"
"He is such a spoiled brat! Someone needs to toughen him up!"
"I don't know why she can't just use her words and stop having so many tantrums."
The way we speak about young children says a lot about how we feel about them.
It also shows how we treat them when they have a need that we haven't met.
They deserve better. Do better.
