I would like to add: And I am not defending the dc, because I don't know what the situation is:

But as providers, whether home or in a center, our hands are so tied as to discipline of children. We simply are not allowed to really discipline a child, from what I understand, some states have now forbid time outs. I think this is a major problem and a big reason why the young children of today are becoming such a handful. I have a sister who works in the grade 2 and 3 at our school. She says the children are so out of control these days. Parents and those who think that consequences for bad behavior is wrong, need to really step back and look at what this type of ignorance is doing to our children and society.
