Am I being too hard on you?

Nowadays I spend time checking out blogs on how to communicate with three year olds as sometimes I don't understand the freakiness in your actions and your disrespect for elders. Your utter disregard of social conduct(worse than even my sudden outbursts) makes me wonder am I getting it wrong or am I right in chastizing you?

It's the teacher syndrome. I go through this with my students too. Am I being too lenient? Allowing them to talk so that I have to raise my voice to unbelievable decibels just so that I can get across the message.

And then the whole issue of control comes into the picture. Why do people act the dominating way they do-because that is the way of the world and someone has to be up there or down here? All this talk of equality is turning into nothing but a curious waste of time........

Then I see you both on your trip playing your freaky games with a joy that we are all searching for and I realize that all I have to do is sit back and watch the fun. It's only that simple-at least for a millisecond.
