I mentioned to DCD yesterday that dcg2 was throwing sand and not obeying my role that the sandbox was closed (following am Incident with sand in the eyes), so I sat her on a chair beside me for a minute and she wad unhappy about it. This was shortly before pick up, so she was still grumping; she holds grudges.

His response was basically the title. "Oh she's so sensitive, we don't do anything like that. "

Yeah and she's TWO. Stop these behaviors NOW before she hits 3 and has a sibling...I didn't say that *exactly* but I thought it, and said something about I know she's sensitive, but throwing sand is a safety issue and I can't let that happen. If she doesn't stop after the first warning, I need to do something to prevent it from happening at all.

Grrr. Sensitivity is NO excuse for poor behavior. Being two is close to am excuse, because I know they can't help certain things. I get it. But really. She's getting downright defiant. She knows how to use that pout to great effect.
