I have heard people talk about the difference between when a child is talking to their parents and when they are talking to themselves. My response to this topic is simple. If your child is talking to you and says something that makes you feel uncomfortable, then they are talking to themselves. They are saying things to themselves, and you are doing the same thing to them that you are doing to yourself.
I have two little girls, and I have found that my children are always talking to themselves, which they will do in both the normal and imaginative ways. In the normal way, they are saying things like: “I hate my feet, I hate my feet” and “I hate my arms, I hate my arms”. They are saying these things to themselves.
And then when they say they hate their feet, their feet are pointing to the ground, and they are saying they hate their arms. And then this is all they can think about. They are thinking about themselves and their feet are saying this to themselves, and I am doing the same thing to them.
The kid-thing is the most fun part. The kid part is a bit of a problem. For one, it makes it really hard to get them to do the real thing. They can’t even tell you they are doing it, but it seems to make it harder for them to do what they are doing. They simply cannot express the emotion that they want to express. It’s hard to get them to say “I hate my feet”.
I do think that if they knew what they were up to in their own heads that would make it easier. But then again, I feel like you have to be pretty bright not to already know something like that, and with those feet I am sure that is true.
I find it interesting how in all the marketing videos, that they seem to do a better job of saying “I love shoes that have a little kid in them” than “I love shoes that are toddler-sized.
I think that people who are trying to push a shoe line to be toddler-sized have the same problem as someone who is trying to drive a car. The person who wants the small-size car is trying to push the small-size car because the car is small-size. The person who wants the big-size car is trying to push the big-size car because the car is big-size.
I think we’ve all seen, or at least read about, people who seem to think that they like the shoe because it’s small-size or big-size, not because it is toddler-size. And while we can’t argue with that, I don’t think we can argue that we like the shoe because it’s a kid’s shoe. I have a kid, so I know that’s probably true.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with liking the shoe because it is small-size, but like I said, I think it depends on many factors. For example, I think it is wrong for a girl to like a shoe because it is a girl’s shoe. I think it is a good idea for a boy to like a shoe because it is a boy’s shoe, but I think it is wrong for a girl to like a shoe because it is a girl’s shoe.
