[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taking apart electronics? He's likely very bright and will grow up to do great things.

Please don't punish him for this. First of all, where the hell were the parents when the kid was dismantling a humidifier??? That's your fault. He's obviously curious. Channel that interest in a positive way. But him kits.

And do not punish him for accidents. Accidents happen. Period. [/quote]

No, I don't agree at all. An accident is spilling your drink at dinner. Climbing up to reach an expensive figurine was no accident. If it were me, I would have shown my anger and made it clear how sad I was that something that meant a lot to me for broken. Then the next time he did anything like that, including taking apart electronics (also not okay!) there would be serious consequences. Some examples, no play dates for a month. No screen time for a week. Take away favorite toys. Ect.

He is old enough to know better and will keep doing it if he knows there will be no real consequence. [/quote]
