[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter says this about her behavior at times "I was a bad girl today." She's 3. I believe she's infering it from when we talk about having made poor behavior choices in a given situation. Like last week she destroyed a classmate's block creation and kicked all the blocks all over the classroom. She's well aware that the opposite of good is bad, so when I ask her if that was a good behavior choice, I think naturally, in her head she goes "no, it was a bad choice." I just say "no, you are not bad, you made a poor choice. Let's try harder tomorrow to make better choices." I really don't think anyone is telling her she's a bad girl, I've spent enough time in the daycare, and it's in my office so I see the teachers/children in the halls frequently enough that there's no way they could hide it if they were using that kind of language.[/quote]

Exactly, PP.  Too many moms here jumping to the worst conclusion about someone else.  Not that anyone should find that surprising.[/quote]
