Children are always observing. And they don’t just pay attention to what we say. What they mostly notice is what we do.
By far, the most frequent question I get about manipulators and other problem characters is: “Can they ever really change?”
When you’re entertaining various notions about why something is happening, the simplest explanation – requiring the fewest assumptions on your part – is probably the best.
