brattiness

so we've been trying to work on brattiness. there are kids in my classroom who are straight brats sometimes, and i know that i would leave the country before i would raise a bratty kid. so, i think the real big question for us is how do we raise a kind and respectful child at the same time that we teach her to be independent and empowered. i feel like there is a really important line between children who feel entitled and children who feel empowered.
