Kids will be kids.
I hear that all the time. "Just let her be a kid" but what people don't realise is children grow up to be adults and if you dont correct them now they will be the children of adults.
My child is going to know right from wrong and she will be punished for the wrong. Yes she is only 4 years old, but she will soon be 5 then six. She will be going to school soon and she will not be one of those children that are always sent to the office. She will be taught (just like she has been taught) that every action has a reaction and every wrong has a punishment.
She gets in trouble for screaming in doors, she gets in trouble for running in doors, she will get in trouble for getting into things that can be dangerous, and she gets in trouble for teasing the animals with food and being mean to the animals. If that makes me a bad mother then I guess I'm a bad mother. My child may be a child right now but she will grow up to be an adult and of if i dont correct her now she will be the type of adult I spent my whole life trying to avoid.
