Toddlers are Quackers

As for "bad" children - children are the product of their environment.
They may have genetic predisposition to bad deeds but all children are basically "good".

A tiny number go bad early (think the two ten year olds who tortured and killed two year old James Bulger in the UK 20+ years ago). Even the ones that go bad must be damaged by a poor environment and values growing up (- though mental illness in the Bulger murderers may have been an element as well).
I would say however that those 2 boys were bad people. They knew right from wrong. They were 2 bad kids in millions and millions of good kids.

And calling a kid "bad" because she had a bathroom accident is so ridiculous/abusive that I could see why the authorities would want to keep an eye on her for her protection.

What up peeps

Got our chicks! My son is in love. My daughter doesn't get the whole watching where you step/sit/kneel thing, but they are both so careful about touching them (my daughter has always channeled another quieter, gentler child when around animals, and it's nice seeing her interact with ones she isn't scared of.)

Toddler and Chick Mom problems: "Why and how is there a crayon in the middle of the brooder?"

 

[Cyneswith]

Well. Crap. My daughter tripped and collapsed part of the brooder box, crushing one of the chicks. My son is distraught and furious at his sister and sad about Minecraft because that's what he was talking about when it happened. Poor Pecks. Poor kids.

I'm so paranoid, I keep my hatchlings in my bathroom with supervised visits.
