[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are we really worried about insulting our 3-5 year old's by calling them a baby? They are going to hear far worse from peers, and we really need to stop coddling our children. Whining is what 2 year old's do before they can better communicate, so if an older child is whining, they are exhibiting "baby" behavior. Honestly do you think your child will be scarred for life because you told them a handful of times they were acting like a baby? I highly doubt it.[/quote] I don't think "scarring them for life" is the point. Of course you won't. But one can be very firm and strict without resorting to name-calling. I think it is a question of modeling appropriate behavior and creating an atmosphere of respect.[/quote]
