What if I told you that this sweet little face is being groomed to be a narcissist? Would you believe me?

Probably not.

There’s a child in my neighborhood I talked about in this story. She watches cartoons on iMac while a helper is feeding her dinner, which trains her to be clueless about her own ability to feed herself and how food makes it from the plate to her stomach. She gets frustrated and screams over the littlest of things. Her way to resolve issues is to cry to bring her some attention.

Except. There are no tears.

Is that an Amber Heard in the making?

Today. I watched her crying over having a paper bracelet which she got from a playhouse she visited earlier which she refused to have removed.
