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!
