Shit why did I start Thielen <| sep |> PS 4 . 93 MS Lundqvist . <| sep |> Not by laughing at them and calling them a stupid ass kid . That is so incredibly far from reasonable . You talk to young people with respect just like you talk to anyone with respect . If they are having a meltdown or a tantrum , you don ' t laugh at them and diminish their feelings . You don ' t mock them and call them a stupid ass kid . You tell them you can ' t speak to them when they are this worked up and you walk away or end the conversation until they have calmed down and you can address their feelings . That ' s what it means to be an adult . When you are an adult , you should be the one with more emotional control . Meaning you should be able to handle a kid throwing a tantrum without acting even more immature than the child by laughing at them to show them they are silly . What you are really showing them is a lack of empathy and that their feelings don ' t matter and are stupid . What a detrimental thing to teach a child so early on . Sad . The only person who seems like a stupid ass kid here is you and your wildly incorrect views on what it means to be mature and reasonable .
