A Game Babies And Adults Play

Little kids are smart. I was baby sitting a one year old today and he played the usual: “What can I get away with games,” that kids play. Testing me to see if temper tantrums would work as well as seeing if I would let him leave things like toys without having him pick it back up. It’s funny adults do this kind of thing too. The only differences is the way they test you. They use different things like the way you let them treat you. They like to see where you draw the line as well. Sometimes once they know where the line is they’ll see if they can push it further back. Just like little kids do. So what do you have to do when people are testing you? The answer is the same for both kids and your peers. Stand firm on whatever position you chose. This can be hard but it is worth it. For kids it shows you care about them enough to set boundaries and adults will respect you more because of it. If you don’t stand firm you will become a door mat and no one thinks twice about stepping on a door mat kids and adults alike.
