[QUOTE="Malika, post: 523293, member: 11227"] Insane! I NEVER say, or have ever said, to J anything like "you are naughty", or "you are" anything bad. This would be total anathema to me, it truly would. Whereas I have often told him "you are lovely", "you are kind", etc. But... he is a sensitive child and an intelligent one. Funnily enough, we had this very conversation tonight because I got really annoyed with him because he was going on and on about wanting a toy because we were going to buy a gift for a child whose party he is attending tomorrow. Which then eventually led to his explosion of pain about "always being naughty", which then led to me insisting that he was not naughty but lovely, etc. He then made the comment - which is the heart of the matter - that when I sound so cross with him, it makes him feel like he is naughty. Which it would, I can quite see that. Trouble is I can't manage all the time to modify my own human and natural responses... [/QUOTE]
