SOME THOUGHTS

SOME TIMES I GET TO THINKING ABOUT HOW KIDS DEVELOP SO DIFFERENTLY FROM EACH AND I START WONDERING IF THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON FOR IT OR MULTIPLE.



MY DAUGHTER WILL BE THREE THIS DECEMBER. I KNOW THIS GIRL WHO HAS A DAUGHTER THAT TURNED THREE IN AUGUST. SHE WORKS OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE AND CURRENTLY I DO NOT. SHE ISN'T WITH HER DAUGHTERS DAD,I'M WITH MINE.



HER THREE YEAR OLD STILL WEARS DIAPERS, DOESN'T TALK, SHE WON'T DO ANYTHING BY HERSELF IF SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO AND HER MOM ALONG WITH MOST PEOPLE AROUND HER DO IT FOR HER. SHE THREE AND PEOPLE STILL TREAT HER LIKE SHE IS A BABY, NOT A LITTLE GIRL.



MY DAUGHTER IS POTTIE TRAINING FOR NIGHT TIME, SHE DOES GREAT DURING THE DAY. SHE LOVES TO TRY AND DO THINGS ON HER OWN, JUST TO SEE IF SHE CAN DO IT. SHE HAS A LARGE VOCABULARY AND SPEAKS CLEARLY.



I HAVE BEEN TOLD MORE THAN ONCE BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW BOTH OF USE, THAT I'M ACTING LIKE THE DAUGHTER IS DUMB. THEY HAVE TOLD ME SHE IS REALLY SMART TO BE ABLE TO GET PEOPLE TO DO WHAT SHE WANTS THEM TO.



I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ANY PARENT WOULD WANT TO NURTURE THAT IN THEIR CHILD. TO ME IT'S NOT TEACHING THEM HOW TO BE INDEPENDENT BUT DEPENDENT AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEBODY WOULD WANT THAT FOR THEIR CHILD.



THEN I WONDER IF THE MOM IS DOING SOMETHING OR IF SHE WAS TO CHANGE WHAT SHE'S DOING WOULD IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. ARE KIDS REALLY TAUGHT TO BE MEAN, SELFISH, AND MANIPULATIVE, OR ARE THE BORN THAT WAY. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT ONE I WOULD PREFER.
