[quote=Anonymous]I see a lot of posts calling children "violent." What's a violent preschooler? Where do you draw the line?

Normal from what I've observed in our own preschool and a kid I would be perfectly comfortable with as a classmate for my DD:
If a child bites occasionally, kicks a little, pushes a little, pinches a little because he/she is upset or wants a toy, etc. Pushes around some chairs or knocks over books or toys.

Violent and a kid I would feel uncomfortable having around my DD:
Pushes or hits, etc. children, throws things for no apparent reason or does it with the purpose of hurting someone. Hits a kid on the head or with a hard toy and especially on the head with a hard toy. Throws hard toys or chairs or other objects AT OTHER KIDS (as opposed to at a wall or away from other kids-obviously this isn't great either as the toy could hit someone by accident). Pushes kids while they are on the playground equipment or on a bike or otherwise creates a dangerous situation.

Remember that kids this age are still learning how to act appropriately!

There was nothing in the Washington Post article that makes me believe that the three-year-old is violent and I think it's unfair to call him that. He's certainly very physical but I think that it's very very rare for a kid that age to actually be violent.
