Anytime a child is putting his or her safety or safety of another person at risk, it is important to put an immediate stop to the behavior and, in some cases, seek professional help. While some keiki can be more spirited and demanding than others, it is important to help them become well-adjusted and independent by teaching them that everyone has boundaries, and that there are times and places that you can show them the attention they crave and deserve.
