So as I'm sure most of you know I'm in college taking the early childhood education program and it covers everything possible about children. Physical aspects, emotional needs, behaviours, growth, red flags and so on.
About 2 weeks ago I was talking to a new mom on facebook and she was saying that her kid have a temper tantrum all day long! I said "Children don't have temper tantrums all day long. There was something else bothering her." And this "mom" tried to tell me that I don't know her child and I can't tell her about her child. I thought "You b***h. I have 3 of my ownb and I'm furthering my knowledge in the are of children. How dare you!" That would be like if I told a doctor that I know my body and that's not blood coming out of it.
I tried to explain to her what a temper tantrum is, and why a child is incapable of having one all day long and that mabe she was having them intermittently. This mother still insisted on this and I told her that from what I've learned in school this means this child needs medical attention NOW. I don't think she took my advice.
I ******** HATE when people think they know things that they DON'T! I don't even know all there is about kids and I never will, I just know what things CAN happen, what things SHOULDN't happen, and what things CAN'T happen.
So ATGers, how often does this happen to you? It happens to everyone! You know something super well and someone is trying to tell you different and it takes you all your might not to clock them in the face! Share your stories!
