3-yr-old instructing mum how to 'train a kid"?

Theo has such a sense of responsibility and gifts of helps beyond his age, I could hardly believe what KB was saying today. (Not that I endorse the principle, but I was pleasantly surprised at his thinking process). He had shown such growth at taking care of his little brother.

Scenario 1: (Mummy took baby Elias into the bedroom into his crib during dinner time, KB noticed and asked)

Theo: Mummy, why is di di in the room?
Mummy: Theo, di di is being disciplined because he did not want to get into his high chair.
Theo: Mummy, don't punish him, just talk to him. Say "Elias get into your high chair" and he will sit down. You see. Punish is not good mummy.
Mummy: Theo, we're not discussing this for the moment ok, because mummy is taking care of him.
Theo: Its not good for Elias to be punished mummy...

He even got all the details communicated... whew!

Scenario 2 (Elias was afraid)
Theo: Elias , no need to be afraid, (and started singing) "I'm not afraid of anything, anything, anything, I'm not afriad of anything, cuz Jesus lives in my heart"
