The adults I worked with at civilian jobs seemed to only know dysfunctional expressing themselves by gossiping, office politics, cliques, favoritism, and rejecting the employees they didn’t like. In the military, I seem to have none of these problems with military personnel peers I work with.

That right there is the key…it has to start from the very beginning and not talking “baby talk” to them. Talk to them like the human beings that they are…even though tiny ones. Reminds me of our daughter, about 40 or so years ago. Told several friends that we had “adult” conversations with her and they did believe me, initially. A few weeks to maybe a few months later, they witnessed it for themselves. A few of them, just went, “Wow, glad it’s you and not me. I don’t think could handle that!” I found that sad, as children are capable of so much more, if they are treated accordingly and not talked down to, baby talked to or bubble wrapped.

She's brilliant full stop.

She is brilliant, also the parents are engaging her a lot which is good. Majority of parents are bust with phones which makes their kids dull as no one to talk with them.

Me too, I loved 'it looks like bubblegum when I taste it'

It’s also important for a boy🙄 All kids need is loving & supportive parents, the gender doesn’t matter.

I know what you mean by "machine ate it"...good old days! Oh, I remember how the buttons would jam up due to constant rewinding and forwarding. We sure were glad when Sony's Walkman got into the market. How things change!
