I said:
I believe it is always best to give a choice and to delineate between what is right and what is wrong, but when a child takes an action not given in one of the choices, I'd hope that any parent would step in and physically force the child to redirect its attention to the chosen option. Otherwise the child has won, and knows a weakness in the system.

I think that you and I have inadvertently come to agree.
