My wife was giving my daughter a bottle. She's only about 16 months old and has some development delays related to her vision birth defects, but is rather good at feeding herself. She was being obstinate and refusing to hold her bottle for herself.

Anyway, she and I decided that we were going to show our displeasure by leaving her to pouting about it. It was probably the first time that she had truly been disciplined and it gave my heart a start. It was her first experience of disappointment.

What a sad little thought.
