Never misjudge a child. Here are some examples:
(Child spills coffee on tge table)
A NEGATIVE PROJECTION:
Ha! This will teach them never to leave their coffee around! They can't function without this stuff, and this will absolutely be revenge!!!
CHILD'S ACTUAL THOUGHTS:
Woah! This stuff, known as coffee, is as deep as the cup, but when I spill it on the table, it goes flat! FASCINATING!
(Child spreads banana over walls)
A NEGATIVE PROJECTION:
Ha! I'll spread this stuff all over the walls in order to spite them! They will have to clean it up!
CHILD'S ACTUAL THOUGHTS:
Woah! I am so strong, thanks to mom's spinach! I can squish this banana between my fingers! When did this happen? FASCINATING!
