I also expect parents to pay for intentional damages. I don't think I would require that if the child is 17 months, but as they all are individual, it could happen. By the age of 3, though, I consider them all responsible enough to not, for example, throw toys at the window after being asked not to. If the child were over 3, I would definitely expect compensation from the parent. As a parent, I'd expect to pay for my child's damage at any age.
