Godzilla As A Three Year Old

by

“Isn’t she adorable!” I commented to my husband.
“Yes,” he smirked, “in a Godzilla kind of way.”
“It is all perspective isn’t it?”
“Yes,” he responded, “What else will she crush that is not hers, as she gets older?”

I watched and this cute little adorable three year old was the makings of a selfish, self-centered young woman who thinks the world is hers to crush.

Her smiling adoring parents never once told her she should be mindful of her brother’s creations in the sand. No one instructed her to make her own then tromp all over them if she wanted to.

Am I being too harsh? Probably. Is it just child’s play? Probably.

On the other hand she will be the office employee who crushes the work of another either to get ahead or for her own enjoyment. She will be the one who is jealous of another person’s achievement and does what she could to crush it. She will be the one who hates her brother’s new wife who takes all the attention for one day. Shall I go on? Nah, I made my point.

Food for though!

    Child’s play or not children should be taught to not destroy others belongings. I think its all part of the “respect” rule. Great post and yes I got your point.

    Who are you talking about?

  • It’s sad but we met a similar one lately…she used to be a lovely baby, but now she’s a spoiled 5 year old who gets what ever she wants. And what’s more she ceases to be charming anymore because of her bratty behavior. Who is to be blamed – not the child – but sadly they are the one’s   who suffer in the long run. 

  • A three month old would not understand these distinctions, a three year old should.  And I suspect if the Godzilla shoes were on the other feet she’d be bellowing in dismay over her creations being destroyed by her bother.  No, I’d say you’re right: teaching younglings respect and consideration needs to start as early as they are capable of distinguishing them.  Letting “children be children” just means when they become teens you’ll be trying to get them to shed their childish ways.

    • I heard said that by the time they are past the age of seven, it is hard to get them to do anything solid and lasting. Consideration and respect are so important. Thank you Allan.
