“Some days, I find it a terrible thing to go to the supermarket. I’ll see a two-year-old boy walking alongside his mother or father, and the boy accidentally knocks something over. Immediately the parent turns back, smacks the kid, and yells, “Don’t you dare do that!” And the poor toddler is shaken up and doesn’t understand. “What do they want from me?” he wonders. “I’m just learning to walk. It was an accident.” Right then, this child learns that he’s bad, and he also learns that if you don’t like what happens, you hit somebody else.” - Jack Kornfield, PhD
