When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

Funny. It's kind of a step up from 'The Dangerous Book for Boys', available from all good bookshops, and presumably quite a few not-so-good ones.
I tried to get our two involved in archery. They thought it was awesome for about 6 months, and then lost interest. Which is actually a very sensible attitude. It's a bloody boring sport for any normal child if you want to get good at it.
