My sister consistently calls her little boy "mean Marty" because he is a tough little kid. I want to tell her that it is mean on her part. Do I have the right?
If you reach out in love, you have the right. Choose the right moment and gently tell her how you feel. Explain the negative adjectives instill negativity, especially in the early years of childhood. Secure children are formed by affirmation and appreciation. An adjective such as mighty or magnificent would behoove the child's identification.
Wouldn't it have been neat if the denotation of the "X-Generation" could have been turned around by affirming them with the fact that they had the capability to be X-cellent, X-ceptional, and X-traordinary?
