It surprises me sometimes. I think, “What kids are you talking about? Mine?” I guess they work out all their attitude problems at home and then are set to shine for the public. If it works, okay.
Training, practice and correction are done at home.
You’re right - it always shows in public, but you shouldn’t train/correct in public.
My 7/yo granddaughter says she is going to get married and have lots of babies. She’s been looking for the perfect husband for about 2 years now and can’t understand why the boys run away. She says her husband will have to be someone funny that makes her laugh.
It works, m’dear, no question about it. I only have the one, but it happens all the time to me and I have to scratch my head as I say to myself “you’re talking about my kid?”
It is all a matter of upbringing. When mom believes her child is a perfect angel and can do no wrong, it’s nearly impossible to convince said mom that her little angel is actually a lying, conniving bully. The problem is compounded when it is obvious the child is learning it at home because mom is also a lying conniving bully.........but always a victim.
