Dexter H Faulkner

Children learn most of their attitudes at home. Little sister Amy breaks her brother Tom's favorite toy. He screams, small-boy style, "I'll never forgive you!" So next time she might be the victim; her favorite doll comes to grief. How does Amy react? Exactly as her brother did. More than likely at least one of their parents has set a bad example for them.
