[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are self interested and self absorbed. They don’t have the maturity or life experience to be able to consider other perspectives and have empathy for others. Don’t make decisions on how a 6 yo views your circumstances. You’re the adult.[/quote] This is just not true. They obviously don't have the life experience, but even toddlers have awareness of emotions and can feel empathy. I stubbed my toe tonight and my 2 year-old immediately gave it a gentle pat to "make it feel better." Dismissing their emotional capabilities says a lot about yours. [/quote] Ok. Just today my four year old dropped his cup while I was driving and asked me to pick it up. Because he does NOT consider my perspective or what I am doing. He is just concerned with getting his own needs met. [/quote]
