This is an all-day day care center. I know several people who send their children to it.

Perhaps, Mom need to spend more time with little Kevin teaching him how to behave.

Both my husband and I believe that a child needs to know by the age of three that there are limits and that Mom and Dad are boss. Without that foundation discipline in the later years becomes much more difficult.

We managed to do it with our kids. But many parents today often view children's tantrums and other such behavior as "expressing themselves". If Junior has learned how to manipulate/ignore Mom and Dad as a preschooler, then how can parents expect him to behave otherwise when he reaches school age?
