Researchers tell us that children learn by watching. They tell us that if we speak calmly, so will they. If we respond without spanking and swatting, they'll learn not to hit. So here's my question....where in the heck did my kids pick up yelling across the house? Let me sum up my night.....
DANIEL!
WHAAAAT?
DO YOU WANT THIS PAPER AIRPLANE?
WHAAAAT?
DO YOU WANT THIS PAPER AIRPLANE?
WHAT PAPER AIRPLANE?
THE ONE ON YOUR BED!
IS IT THE ORANGE ONE?
WHAAAT?
IS IT THE ORANGE ONE?
NO IT'S BLUE!
WHAT?
IT'S BLUE!
OH BRING IT HERE AND LET ME SEE...
SYD DO YOU WANT THE PINK ONE?
WHAAAT?
THE PINK AIRPLANE!
WHICH PINK ONE?
WHAAAT?
Not a single child got up on their perfectly healthy legs to walk across the house. Not a single one. So if children learn by example, why is that not the case....food for thought.
