🍎IT RUBS OFF 🍎

The concept for this one is as follows: parents(or guardians)' shadow aspects might rub off on the children they're raising, even if children don't show it overtly. Here it's represented by uncontrolled temper and underdeveloped communication skills. Those shadow attributes literally cast a shadow over the child's life and they become the child's own shortcomings to unlearn later on in life. The colorful, peaceful toys and decorations show that even when parents/guardians shower children with the most welcoming wholesome outside influence in the world, the things that rub off on children the most are what they observe in the day to day home life.
