The child-rearing experts say that children are intrinsically selfish. I would have to agree with that. Teaching our kids that there is a bigger world out there than Way Down In Mayberry can be a challenge sometimes.
The child-rearing experts also say that around the age of three, children begin to show empathy for others. To be honest, I haven't seen a lot of that in Izzy. The poor child has to fight for attention with his other siblings and household duties that occur on a daily basis. Izzy is all about "me, me me!"
So I have to say Izzy's response surprised me the other day when I curiously questioned what he was doing.......
The fish must get really bored Mommy. I'm giving them something to look at!
It's a start........
