Matching Quote

"Your child...may not call you or other people names.... Don't be tempted to gloss over this issue. You may be able to talk to yourself into not minding being called names, but this decision may come back to haunt you in later years. If you let a preschooler speak disrespectfully to you now, you'll have a much harder time of it when your child is a preteen and the issue resurfaces, which it is likely to do then."
