Are children getting wiser?

[hogey11]

I thought the most interesting aspect of this video for myself was watching her work through the emotions. It's not as if she is immune to the disappointment (as her eyes well up with tears initially a bit), but you can see her stop, collect herself, and put on a smile instead. Even when her Mom is pushing her and reminding her of the bad thing she did, the little girl puts up with it and just attempts to move on to the next subject. That is what impressed me most: she experienced the same catalyst we all do/would and she responded in a balanced manner. I love this video. I plan to use it as a touchstone in using this same spirit when dealing with my children.
