Children Behavior

Thoughts:
Since researching so much about discipline and abuse it got me thinking about children specifically. Children always act up especially from a toddler. Children will always be "innocent" because they do not yet understand manners, and from right and wrong. But understanding why children act up the way they do can help a lot.

Questions:

• why do children act up?
• Can relative actions be developed by genes?
