Ten Ways To Raise
A Little Monster
Everywhere you lode, there is a
test you can take to determine how
skilled you are at doing some
thing. When you’re all finished
with the test, you are able to tell if
you either are a super person, just
so-so. or need so much help that
you need to send away for a self
help book!
Most tests focus on building
positive relationships, but here is
one with a different approach; a
test to figure out “If You Are Rais
ing A Little Monster.”
All you need to do is read over
the following 10 questions and
write down how many times you
could response “yes.”
1. Do you use words like
“clumsey,” “slow,” or other
names to describe your child?
2. Do you find yourself growl
ing or saying “shut up” at your
child on a regular basis?
3. Do you talk badly about your
child in front of the neighbors or
your child’s friends?
4. Do you criticize what your
child does, especially when you
feel he or she could have done bet
ter?
3. Are you busy doing other
things while your child tries to tell

it better or faster?
7. Do you make fun of or call
your child names when he or she
has a personal accident?

What is your score? If you an

doing all of these things at one
time or another. But, as a parent, it
is important that you realize that
doing several of these behaviors
on a regular basis can have a direct

yourself in your child’s place oc
casionally to see life from a kid’s
point of view.
