Don't Treat Me Like A Baby
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Bobby Susser
1. The child/children may join in the chorus.
2. The parent/teacher may ask the child/children if he/she/they were ever treated improperly, disrespectfully, etc. due to his/her/their age.
3. The parent/teacher should encourage the child/children to share any experiences he/she/they have had being treated ‘like a baby’.
4. The parent/teacher may ask the child/children to write a letter to a person who has treated him/her/them either like a baby and/or without any understanding of his/her/their feelings. In this letter, the child/children should be encouraged to express his/her/their feelings and as sung in the song, state ‘I’m a person just like you’. The parent/teacher may
assist the child/children.
Don’t treat me like a baby
Just because I’m younger than you
Don’t treat me like a baby
Just because I’m smaller than you
Just because I’m younger and smaller than you
I have feelings that make me cry
I have feelings that make me laugh
I have feelings that make me cry
I have feelings that make me laugh
And so I am a lot like you
And so I am a lot like you
‘Cause I’m a person
I’m a person
I’m a person just like you
Don’t treat me like a baby
Just because I’m younger than you
Don’t treat me like a baby
Just because I’m smaller than you
Just because I’m younger and smaller than you
I have wishes that do come true
I have wishes that still don’t happen
I have wishes that do come true
I have wishes that still don’t happen
And so I am a lot like you
And so I am a lot like you
‘Cause I’m a person
I’m a person
I’m a person just like you
So don’t treat me like a baby
Just because I’m younger than you
Don’t treat me like a baby
Just because I’m smaller than you
Just because I’m younger and smaller than you
Don’t treat me like a baby
Just because I’m younger than you
Don’t treat me like a baby
Just because I’m smaller than you
Just because I’m younger and smaller than you
