something stupid. They know that I do not really mean it seriously (as in "self fulfilling prophesy" etc). What my older one told me recently, is that he is no longer worried by namecalling at school, as any such teasing adjectives just do not bother him altogether, because is is used to hearing this stuff at home.

When they are older and can analyze it more thoroughly, they may react more negatively, and then it will be too late. |
