The House of Tiny Tearaways

Children the age that Tanya mostly takes in are to young to be able to cognatively perform what you are suggesting. Children progess through set stages in moral development the beginning of which is "being told what is right or wrong and being punished and rewarded accordingly by a close authority figure, usually a parent to determine what is morially right". As a child's frontal lobe developes, they progress to stages of determining what is morally. What your saying is roughly correct but not for the most of the clients taken on in the house. Tanya does take in older cliends (up to eight years of age is what I have seen) and for these children she adopts a different style of nurturing.
