[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL told my 7 year old she was proud of him for clearing the table. Then she turns to my 4 year old and states "I'll be proud of you some day." WTF? I don't expect him to be praised, but don't say things like that.[/quote] Oh my god, that's TERRIBLE. She couldn't have found another thing to be proud of? Like, I'm proud of you for eating your green beans?[/quote] No. She couldn't. She was praising the first child for doing work and encouraging the second child to also do work. The kid isn't a snowflake. Really. He will survive. [/quote] And know that his grandma is a witch. He's 4. He didn't need praise. But he didn't need the opposite. He had done nothing wrong. He's 4, not 14.[/quote]
