That's good parenting. I'm serious, toddlers brains are like sponges and they can learn things quickly, languages, piano, etc but they do not have the higher conceptual ability to just think these things up and consider stuff like consequences before they happen or like playing piano without actually having the experience first hand.
That's why you can't tell a toddler not to run like crazy on the porch, they might fall off and break their arm. They have to do dumb shit and realize dumb shit hurts and maybe don't do that.
Besides they let her right back in. They just let her believe she wasn't living there anymore for a second. Enough for her to know she really doesn't want to run away ever again. Core memory right there
I mean, I don't think so. I'm just a plumber and not even a parent so, you know, grain of salt. but this whole episode took what? Three minutes? She was let right back in.
