>>There is a vast difference between teaching respect and courtesy and protecting a child.
I don't understand. They are two parts of raising a child, and both necessary.
There is a huge difference between ordering a child around rudely and protecting a child though.
>>Would you said to a toddler "Please don't touch that cooker darling", just before they
>>touch it
Pretty much. Probably something like "Please don't touch that cooker, its hot and you'll burn yourself". Of course, that's assuming that its not an emergency situation, which if I've been paying attention it usually won't be.
What would you do? Issue orders? Each to their own way, I guess.
