Good lord - just because human beings have a predisposition to do something does not make it ACCEPTABLE to do so or appropriate to ENCOURAGE a child to do so ... yes children are sensory orientated and will put anything in their mouth - it is our job to TEACH them what is acceptable and what is not and when they are given mixed message it takes them longer to figure that out themselves through trial and error - aka when I chew on a stick I get a soar splinter mouth!

Seriously by that mans logic if a child was curious about a knife cause it is NORMAL for kids to be curious after all and so if left in their access they would pick it up we should just LET HIM or they are often fascinated with their POO so hey lets just leave them diaper-less and go to it - save on creative art supplies

Honestly we are a civilized society because we have learned what is safe and what is not safe and what is socially acceptable or what behaviour leads to anarchy and put 'rules' in place and we pass that ON to younger generations so they do not have to keep recreating the wheel but can instead build on that knowledge!

Sorry I always try to think of termination as a last resort but I would have terminated that client as well Brights because I cannot work with someone whose values are so varied from mine!
