I think that you handled it the only way you could in the moment.

I'm surprised how everyone is so quick to judge.

Like you, I practice manners with the kids and when you know your DCK as well as we do (caring for them 8+ hours a day) you KNOW when they are being deliberate about an action.

Is a TO the 'right' thing to do? Maybe yes or maybe no...every child and situation is different. Maybe this child just wanted to see what your limit was?

Children are very smart and I feel many adults under estimate their intelligence. Sometimes not having enough or any expectations. Children can and will soar to new heights if you let them!

You're doing the best that you can and you questioning the TO may be your way of processing it. Give yourself a pat on the back and move on! You still have many more hours in the day of sneezing and coughing ahead of you! LOL.
