As an Assoc. School Psychologist, I was the supervisor of a class of mentally challenged students - they were junior high/high school students, most Down Syndrome, with IQ’s about 40-60. I know those teachers would have used that moment of his being on top of the dog, to teach him about dogs being alive and could be hurt.

Agreed. It was a perfect opportunity. Loving a child often means having to introduce changes in behaviour that the child may not be immediately receptive to. Caring about a child means that a parent must sometimes require that the child do things that he may not like, whether for his safety, the safety of others, or simply because of moral restrictions. That’s what being a parent is all about.

Public Skool psychologist, I presume?

A couple of degrees (free) from sttae university; union creds; and absolutely no experience with real children in the real world.
