Anything you say or do can be copied, pasted, and sent to gazillions of people without your permission. >> 4. **Assume everyone is watching**. There’s a huge, vast audience out there.

**Toddler's Creed** posted by H. Dan Smith, EdD, MFT

The "Toddler's Creed" appeared in the syndicated weekly newspaper article "Families Today" by T. Berry Brazelton. It is a nice reminder of the stresses we feel with __normal__ behavior of toddlers. Enjoy.

If I want it, it's mine. If I give it to you and change my mind later, it's mine. If I can take it away from you, it's mine. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine. If it's mine, it will never belong to anybody else, no matter what. If we are building something together, all the pieces are mine. If it looks just like mine, it is mine. @http://smith.soehd.csufresno.edu/toddler.html
