Children these days seem to be able to get away with just about anything. They can do just about anything and their parents don't seem to mind them doing it either. They can run around screaming, pull someone's hair, spit in people's faces etc. and the parents don't seem to mind them doing that but what if thats being done to somebody else. The parents look at it as their kids being cute and precocious but whatabout the person whose getting the blunt end of things, like in his/her eye or other body part hmmm? So who is to be blamed? Why of course the parents, the kids don't know any better not to cause anyone else discomfort, pain, agony etc. Their little minds are like clay waiting to be molded either the right or wrong way. What they learn early on in life will stay with them and become a part of their characteristics as an individual. If a child sees thats it ok to cause inconvenience to another person and is not corrected about it, he/she may develop the idea that it is ok to do so. Chances of this developing into further acts of annoyance is very possible. Children don't know what their limitations are but parents should. Nip it in the bud I say before what might be perceived as being cute exasperates into something worse in future years. So when kids grow up and do things they regret later on in their lifes and end up going for therapy for it, it eventually boils down to what limitations their parents set out for them when they were growing up. Children are very impressionable so don't leave them with the wrong impressions, leave them with the right ones.
