A Finn often hides his injury in passive-aggressive behavior. Already the child is learning to hide his feelings. How can you find a more constructive way to express yourself?
“Is is it a couple of minutes now? The garbage bag can certainly wait for you to grab it with you. Aren’t you going to work? ”
The parent waves his ears and wonders what the child really said. In the past, the same ten-year-old would have rocked the garbage bag briskly out. Now he is clearly frustrated, but still does not say it directly. The parent is left to wonder if the child’s way of speaking has become passive-aggressive.
