You’re still a little shy, I see, the wizard noted. I think if you ignore evil, my friend, it tends to grow stronger. (Quinhelm, the wizard - from BRIGGEN)

About This Quote

The wizard Quinhelm, from William Goldman’s novel 'The Princess Bride', says to Prince Humperdinck, "You’re still a little shy, I see. The wizard noted. I think if you ignore evil, my friend, it tends to grow stronger." This is a fantastic message for any new parent! If you ignore your toddler's acting out of character, it will only get worse and worse as she gets older. In the beginning stages she may be cute and funny but over time her behavior will become more and more inappropriate.

Go into this with an open mind and an attitude that it's not going to be all fun and games. Take steps to correct her behavior as soon as you notice a pattern of misbehavior.
