Context, in short, can make children seem ruder. Also, distracting technological apparatuses like Game Boys and cell phones may make childhood rudeness more annoying and vocal, full of beeps and loud shouting as well as the usual childhood crying.
If some children are indeed 'more rude' in actuality, however, the fault may less be that the children are not taught manners, but that they are imitating their friends. Children's peer groups often influence their behavior more than adult admonitions, at least on a daily basis. And finally, children may be 'taught manners' by adults, but they may be the wrong...

Webster's New American Handy College Dictionary, a "disability" is: "...the incapacity to do something because of a handicap - physical, mental, etc." Meanwhile, the Random House Dictionary of the English Language goes further: "1. Lack of competent power, strength, or physical or mental ability; incapacity; 2. A permanent physical flaw, weakness or handicap." Those dry facts do not come close to describing the genuine compassion and bond a loving
