Children are, after all, mischievous at times. That's quite alright, for it gives us an opportunity to make them think about their actions, evaluate whether those actions were good or bad, and learn what really is the correct thing to do in a particular situation. Aren't these invaluable situations offering invaluable lessons to be learnt for life?
I am of the firm belief that children acquire the wisdom and skills that they need for their precious lives, through first hand experiences within natural settings.
