Tyrant By Age Five

She is such a weirdo cat!” The four year old child said. The family laughed, encouraging this behavior. Egged on he kept trying out more disparaging words. His audience roared, loving the effect they had on him. He became a tyrant by the age of five. Making other kindergarteners cry Calling them “weirdo, fat, stupid” and “ugly.” Tried hard to make friends but that did not happen.

Such a damn shame that some folks turn their children into little monsters and then, when confronted about it, say, "Well, I just don't know what made him turn out like this." Thanks for this reminder, Caren. Children become what they learn!

It is so sad. I hear Moms in a store tell a kid 762 times to not do something, yet do nothing when the kid does it the 763rd time.
