See, it's not about being a magical uncaring bastard, it's about the kid knowing how far they can push you. When you lay it down, even at that young an age, that what you say is what you mean and whatnot, the trying to push your boundaries thing ends pretty quick. Like raptors, they'll obviously still poke around for weak points, so you can't ever drop your guard. :P
