What I am asking is whether you realize that what you are doing is judging, too, and that if judging is a learned behavior, than yes, your kids will learn it from you.
And your kids might not know the word "mortify" (it will come in handy for the vocabulary portion of the SATS, though, so you might think about introducing it between now and then) but I am sure that they understand the concept. You don't have to spend a lot of time around little kids to know that yeah, they understand what it's like to feel singled out and embarrassed and usually go to great lengths to avoid being embarrassed in front of their peers.
Do you really think that human emotions are only learned when kids have words for them? That they don't feel happy, sad, scared, embarrassed, etc, until someone defines the word for them?
Are the emotions different in humans who speak different languages? Do, for instance, a Russian speaker and an English speaker have different emotions and reactions because their language is different?
i don't know what the russian translation for mortified would be.
Are you seriously suggesting that a dog has that level of analytical ability?
there is a psychology behind that.
Does these type of things happen often?
