Just because a child hit once in your home does NOT mean that you are raising them WITH violence. Instead of booting a child out of my care for violence I'd rather take the time and help this child learn the right way.
I stand by my post earlier which I'd be curious to see how many share the same philosophy...
i agree - and i think most people do. that was the initial point is that it's normal and DAP for YOUNG children to be aggressive at least once just to see what happens, but most often it's more than once. not allowing it is one thing, but claiming it's never happened in almost 2 decades -
nannyde, is your name Jo? nah, even supernanny wouldn't claim to be able to prevent the inevitable - she just knows how to stop it like most human beings.
