I can’t really think of very much other than medical conditions such as Tourettes, which I wouldn’t really describe as naughty behaviour as they genuinely have no control over it.
Depends what age group you’re talking about and what you class as misbehaving.
Indeed & the labelling of kids IS used by some parents …as an excuse for bad behaviour EG it’s not his/her fault they’ve got ….. whatever.
I have a friend that was determind to get her son labled ADHD once she got the diagnosis confirmed she refused to give the medication …. go figure.
He was an odd child but lovely natured & perhaps if she encouraged social interaction in stead of segregating him in his pre school years his difficulties interacting with his peers in school might of been less traumatic.
No I’m not judging her either but be careful what you wish for.
Don’t see the attraction to spiders as pets, but each to their own. I came across a little boy some time ago (he was 6 yrs old, his parents are South American but he was born here), I remember him telling me he loved spiders. I’m wondering if it’s a trend or something a bit deeper? And here’s someone who allowed a manky pigeon to share her bedroom. Don’t read too much into it Blossom , we are looking after it for a local school. Small children are happy to handle creepy-crawlies in the garden and find them fascinating, but become scared of them as they get older. If children are picking up their parents fear of insects, then it will take at least a generation to change attitudes. I am doing a small part in helping them.
Lmao @ manky pigeon. If this looks like a manky pigeon to you
Pigeons are vermin in the UK carry all kinds of diseases.
