[blparent] labeling our children

[Veronica Smith]

The first time I heard that statement, I wondered what in the world they
were talking about.  Labeling, what?
Since Gab was born, I have heard so many labels it isn't funny.
Shy- not my child, but the more you say this about your child, the more true
it becomes.
Hyper- not my child, she'd rather sit in front of the tube.
Caring- definitely, she takes care of all children in the group.
Mouthy- only to mom.
Talkative- all the time.
Messy- absolutely.
Cuddly- always wants to be in my lap.
Sensative- wears her feelings on her sleeve.
Sneaky- only when it suits her needs.
