Oh, the signs of future temper tantrums were there last night.
Little Baby was playing with something she wasn't supposed to. And when I took it away from her and offered her something else, she descended into a big cry-fest, complete with red face, clenched fists, and some tears.
I hope K and I are able to teach her to be more calm when she grows up...
That said, consistency is key to a child's upbringing.
If the parents are saying something or trying to achieve something, but other caregivers are doing otherwise, then mixed signals are being given to the child. The child gets confused and doesn't get steered in the right direction.
I hope we won't fall into this situation.
