Step 1: Take something away from your child that she worked hard for and cares about.
Step 2: Taunt her and tell her what you did, and make it seem as though she will never get back what had been hers.
Step 3: Laugh at her when she becomes so upset and distraught she begins to cry, scream, shake with anger and lash out.
Step 4: Ridicule her for believing you and condescendingly tell her it was just a joke. Laugh some more while she recovers.
Step 5: Announce her distress over something so ‘insignificant’ to the public and encourage others to laugh at her, too.
Remember: always model the the behavior you want to see in your child.
