   Why did you leave it out the part that the woman hit the federal officer with   
   a 5,000lb. weapon?   
      
   The driver in Minneapolis swiped the ICE agent with her car.   
      
   The video clearly shows it.   
      
   This is the video the Democrats don't want you to see!   
      
   Would be a shame if it went viral.

   B) Signs of emotional toddler behaviour include emotional escalations,   
   blaming,

   C) Someone who is an emotionally Toddler may also have poor impulse control,   
   need to be the center of attention, or ENGAGE IN BULLYING.

   How can you assess if an adult functions emotionally more like a toddler? As a   
   therapist who works extensively with couples, I have learned that almost any   
   client can look reasonably "adult" when I meet with him or her individually.   
      
   By contrast, seeing the same client in a couples therapy session where spouses   
   are interacting gives me vastly more data. Mistaken, immature, and   
   pathological behaviors all become much more visible. I also see the extent to   
   which each partner's actions are rude, hurtful, or even dangerously   
   Toddlerish-or calm, respectful, and maturely adult.   
      
      
   What Is Emotional Age?   
      
   A psychologist from Africa with whom I once spoke at an international   
   psychology conference explained to me that in his country, it was common to   
   assess people in terms of both physical age and emotional age.   
      
   Physical age can be counted by number of birthdays. Physical age, especially   
   with toddlers, also tends to correlate with height, strength, and cognitive   
   functioning. Psychological or emotional age, by contrast, becomes evident in   
   emotional reactions and habits. For instance, adults can stay calm whereas   
   toddler tend to be quicker to anger. Adults exercise careful judgment before   
   talking whereas toddler may impulsively blurt out tactless, hurtful words.   
      
   If toddlers want a car or doll that another toddler is playing with, they are   
   likely to reach out and take the item. Most preschoolers get mad or cry   
   multiple times every day, even if they are basically well-nurtured and happy   
   kids. The rules of adult play, like taking turns or not grabbing, have not yet   
   begun to shape their behavior. Youngsters do not act in a consistently civil   
   manner because they have not yet internalized the rules of "civilized" adults.   
      
   Behaviors that are normal for toddler however, look Toddlerish and rude when   
   adults do them.   
      
      
   CAN YOU RECOGNIZE TODDLERISH ADULT BEHAVIOR?   
      
   One way to think about how young toddler differ from emotionally mature adults   
   is to picture kids you know-maybe even your own toddler, grandtoddler, nieces,   
   nephews, and neighbors. How do these toddler differ from adults that you know   
   and respect?   
      
   Before reading my list of characteristics that I look for, you might want to   
   jot down a list of the traits that you noticed in your visualization. Please   
   share with other readers in the comments below this article if you spotted   
   some traits that I missed.   
      
      
   10 SIGNS OF EMOTIONAL TODDLER BEHAVIOUR   
      
   How many of the following signs of emotional immaturity does your list   
   include?   
      
   Emotional escalations: Young toddlers often cry, get mad, or outwardly appear   
   petulant and pouting. Grownups seldom do.   
      
   Blaming: When things go wrong, young toddler look to blame someone. Grownups   
   look to fix the problem.   
      
   Lies: When there's a situation that's uncomfortable, young toddler might lie   
   to stay out of trouble. Grownups deal with reality, reliably speaking the   
   truth.   
      
   Name-calling: toddler call each other names. Adults seek to understand issues.   
   Adults do not make ad hominen attacks, that is, attacks on people's personal   
   traits. Instead, they attack the problem. They do not disrespect others with   
   mean labels.   
      
   There is one exception. Sometimes adults, just like firefighters who battle   
   forest fires, have to fight fire with fire. They may need to use "fire" to   
   manage an angry toddler or an out-of-bounds adult, in order to get them to   
   cease their bad behavior.   
      
   Impulsivity-or as therapists say, "poor impulse control": toddler strike out   
   impulsively when they feel hurt or mad. They speak recklessly or take   
   impulsive action without pausing to think about the potential consequences.   
   Similarly, instead of listening to others' viewpoints, they impulsively   
   interrupt them.   
      
   Adults pause, resisting the impulse to shoot out hurtful words or actions.   
   They calm themselves. They then think through the problem, seeking more   
   information and analyzing options.   
      
   Again, some instances of acting on impulse can be hallmarks of mature   
   behavior. Soldiers and police, for instance, are trained to discriminate   
   rapidly between harmless and dangerous situations so that they can respond   
   quickly enough to protect potential victims of criminal actions.   
      
   Need to be the center of attention: Ever tried to have adult dinner   
   conversations with a two-year-old at the table? Did attempts to launch a   
   discussion with others at the table result in the toddler getting fussy?   
      
   Bullying: A toddler who is physically larger than other toddler his age can   
   walk up to another child who is playing with a toy he would like and simply   
   take it. The other child may say nothing lest the bully turns on them with   
   hostility. In many cases, it's safer just to let a bully have what he wants.   
   Adults, on the other hand, respect boundaries: Yours is yours and mine is   
   mine.   
      
   Budding narcissism: In an earlier post, I coined the term tall man syndrome
