[quote=Anonymous]I think the extreme reaction that young children get when misbehavior to a baby is involved can thrill and excite them wildly. I've seen this happen with typical children as well. I think the baby's vulnerability also brings out a little sadism in them. I'm not talking about sociopathy. I'm talking about cause and effect -- Wow! I have the power to pinch this baby and there's nothing this baby can do about it! Mighty Me! I don't find this bizarre. I've seen young children act like this. They are young children. It's inappropriate, definitely, and in these circumstances you immediately separately the young child from the visiting baby. He goes to his room to play on his own for the rest of the visit and doesn't get any of the delicious treats the company gets to enjoy. Period. He learns he cannot treat a baby that way.[/quote]
