[blparent] Need advice with preschoolers behavior

[Brandy W]

Now that is simply horrible. The plain fact is if they can't handle a 
preschool hitting problem you probably didn't want him there anyway.

"When we treat children's play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping 
them feel the joy that's to be found in the creative spirit. It's the things 
we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in 
our lives."
