Older Child Adopt-Do they ever really love you?

Oh, I wanted to add that you need to be careful how you speak as well. If she hears you talking about others or to them in that way, she may just be modeling behavior. I've heard adults chatting with friends saying all kinds of insulting, profanity filled, things about someone else. Then they wonder why their kids talk that way to them. Be careful of negative self talk, too. If you are constantly saying out loud things like, "I am SO stupid. I can't believe I did that" then your child may think that's acceptable to say about you.-J
