Marie has a 2½-year-old daughter. The babysitter has been calling her daughter "naughty" and "a bad girl" when the child is uncooperative. The babysitter says that the little girl doesn’t understand what she is saying so it doesn’t matter. Marie is unsure about what to do. Based upon information presented in this chapter, what would you say to Marie?

Marie should find some way to stop this before these labels become part of her daughter's developing self-understanding.          

Explanation:

In the question above, since the babysitter has been calling Marie's daughter as a bad girl or naughty, it would lead to label the child as the same while developing her self-understanding.

In psychology, the term "labeling" is determined as a process through which an individual's behavior and self-identity are being influenced or explained by various terms that are being used to describe him or her.

Self-understanding refers to an individual's "self-concept" i.e, his or her understanding of who he or she is and what makes him or her significantly unique.
