Wats ur opinion?

discipline had nothing to do with her breaking it. it was surely pure accident. 2 year olds are still learning what they can touch and what is off limits. i am guilty of this but parents should remember that instead of instantly yelling at their children for doing something wrong, they need to explain what they did, why it was wrong and what will happen now that they did that. this is why they tend to repeat actions that get them in trouble. ever since i took psych last semester i have tried modifying how i deal with my 3 year old, including what i said above. so to answer your question, she should have bit her tongue and found out what exactly happened before she flew off the handle. she will make the child scared of her and not want to be around her anymore.

Why was she playing with a porcelain pot in the 1st place?

I think the person who let the 2 yr old play with the pot should take the blame, i would not let my children esp my 2yr old play with a breakable object, blimey when the pot is broken its sharp and i dont fancy sitting in A&E for hours waiting for stitches.

The Grandmother shouldnt have said that to the parents, or yell at the poor child, every one disciplins their kids in different ways, there is no right or wrong way, so how could she say that you dont know how? You do what you feel is the right way, dont listen to her......

But this is my opinion and not everyone will think the same as me

First off, the child shouldn't of been playing with that pot, but the grandmother should of used some restraint. You don't yell at a small child like that for an accident. But someone should of had thier eye on the little girl.

Where was the Grandmother when the child was playing with her pot? Chances are she should have kept a eye on the child. Yes, the grandmother should have said that wasn't right and explained to her. Someone should have said to the gradmother that wasn't right leaving a child near a valuable, children are curious and don't know right from wrong all the time.

first of all, i dont think a 2 year old should be playing with procelin pots - she could have gotten hurt/cut when it broke, someone should have taken the pot away from her before it broke. I dont think its right to get mad at the child for accidently breaking something, but she does need to be taught that somethings are not for playing with.

First, Why was she allowed to play with the pot? If grandma was babysitting, she was responsible for the accident not the child. In any case her res-ponce was uncalled for. All to often people react this way. It's a poor lesson for the child and anyone else in attendance.

This is a good question!

hi ,well to be truthful the pot should have been no where near the height for a 2 year old to get there hands on it ,and ive been through the terrible 2s three times so i know how much of a handful this age group can be ,there is no point of screaming at the child how is any one going to learn to listen to that the child is going to back of and close down the hearing ,where as if you explain to the child that they can look but they are not to touch ,they will get into this and understand ,as i did with my 3 daughters ,she is the adult in the situation ,its a pity she doesnt act like one !!!

I think it is wrong. Accidents happen adults need to relax and let kids be kids. Unless she was told to settle down and was being brat about it she should have been told it was just an accident and then been told to apologize to the grandma. But never should adults talk down about other adults around children.

Definately wrong. It was an accident. The grandparents (if proud of their grandchildren) should have their house to be childproof. Especially to where the children will be. 2yr olds act so quickly, even the strictest supervision may not of stopped this from happening.

The grandmother should not have reacted that way. She should not have let the toddler play with the pot to begin with, so it's really her that is to blame.
