[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, you are right Willow..they know their 'rights', but understand little of the responsibilities that go with those rights.......and very young children cannot be reasoned with, and have little perception of dangers(as in high windows, hot ovens, busy roads)...but yet we as parents still have a resposibility to keep them safe.
I think that the government were wrong to tell parents how to dscipline their children...now they are reaping the rewards, and I think it will be a very hard trend to reverse.
