“Children have inborn tendencies which
make it much easier for them to behave
badly or neurotically than for them to
behave well or sanely.
And unless something is actively, directlyand consistently done by parents and by
themselves to counter and thwart theseinborn tendencies, they will probably be
troubled for the rest of their days.”» Dr. Albert Ellis,1966

IF A CHILD(The “Wolf” and “Sheep”)
If a child thinks they can't handle difficulties.... they won't.
If a child thinks that they should not care about others.... they won't.
If a child thinks that there is no point in being assertive.... it is.
If a child thinks that it is acceptable to belittle and ridicule others.... it is.
If a child thinks that doing anything to please “others” is okay.... they will.
If a child thinks that getting others to do foolish things is okay.... they will.
And as long as they think that way, you can't bribe, scare,or punish them enough to keep it from happening.
