In other words he was a normal three year old who did not receive the appropriate punishments when he misbehaved and is now a terror.

I was recently scolded because I "reacted too harshly" to Youngest Daughter acting out. She still occasionally has trouble controlling her temper. Because she acted out she lost privileges. In that case the privilege to go to a party. When chided I responded that the adults run the house, not the child.

Youngest daughter asked why that man was so upset. I told her his mommy probably did not love him enough to correct him when he misbehaved.

When we acted out our parents sent us to our rooms. Sometimes we had to say for days after school depending on how bad the offense was. My brothers and I called it “solitary confinement”
