I know of no laws that would prevent clearing a house they way they did.

If you have a mother acting illogically and emotionally, then I would say that is what would cause the harm. Kids will respond the way they think they are supposed to respond based on the response of others. If the mother remains calm and tells them everything was fine and normal, then there should be no harm.

Kids vary a lot, but I've not seen a kid that ever behaved in such a way.


You've never seen a little kid get a bump and only start to cry when the parent starts to coddle them? This is very common.

I can remember being a little kid and being afraid of stuff. A parent telling you not to be scared because the situation was normal can work.


This is not my experience, no.
