Are you having trouble reading this? Is it making you mad, upset, angry? This is the way kids talk. Seriously. It is easy for

them. They love it. They love it more when you

speak their language. At least a little bit.

The word comes from the Greek paidagōgeō in which paidos means "child" and ágō means "lead"


Literally “to lead the child”
