how to deal with children?

November 11, 2009 6:03pm CST
i have a two year old cousin who spits when he doesn't like the person. his mom claimed that this is because of the nanny who tolerated this kind of behavior. but for me children have each others attitude. some are born good and some don't.

Spitting or bitting is not something that kids that little just start doing. They are taught it. if the childs's Nanny is permitting this bad behavior then she needs to be told not to allow it any more or she needs to go. The child needs to be taught to respect even people that he doesn't like. No one likes to be spit on. I agree with you that some children are just plain bad but not many. Most are bad because they are not taught how to be good.
