It's amazing that you complain about people not reading and responding to stuff in their head, then you turn around it do it yourself.

1: I quite clearly stated that this was inappropriate behavior that needs to be educated away. I don't know how you think my example is condoning the action. Children need to be taught to keep their hands to themselves, this is a normal part of child development. It is normal for children to have Big Emotions and not know how to use their words yet. Normal doesn't mean it shouldn't be addressed, it just means that every child has to have it addressed.

2: Have you not read the rest of the thread? Starting with the post calling the child a garbage person?

3: I never said anything to the contrary?

but I would never speak to my kid that way.

Then why are you defending it so hard?
