Insults

It infuriates me when folks refer to adults who are badly behaved as children or toddlers. Just No!

Instead, let's name the dreadful behavior - bullying, disrespecting, antagonizing, throwing a tantrum, belligerence, hostility, narcissism, playing the victim, sabotaging, gaslighting, greediness, manipulation, and all the endless versions of disgusting a$$holery.

None of these should be equated with the word childish.

Yes, children misbehave sometimes; however, it is usually not premeditated or vindictive. Children are growing and learning beings who get angry, frustrated, sad, disappointed, and generally dysregulated and act out. With loving guidance, they can discover how to respectfully and safely negotiate their emotions and behavior without hurting themselves or others.  

Badly behaved adults are just that, with no excuses or equivalencies.   

DRC News

The DRC Canton Crew had a great week!

The Pop-Ups Peeps met at Nicandri and the Massena Public Library this past week.

They will be at Nicandri again this Wednesday and the Massena Library on Thursday.

Janine suggests kiddos bring snow gear on the days they are at Nicandri so they can access the skis, snowshoes, and outdoor fun. She also encourages participants to bring their laptops/devices, snacks, and projects or games they want to share/work on with others.
