Passage Summary: When a toddler bites you, they aren't trying to be mean. They probably just want a toy and see you as an obstacle in their way.

Conclusion: Toddlers do not have malicious intent when they bite others.

Reasoning: Biting is often a functional response to a toddler's frustration when they feel someone is preventing them from obtaining a desired object, like a toy.

Analysis: This stimulus describes a behavior that appears aggressive but attributes it to a goal-oriented impulse rather than a desire to cause pain. Toddlers are essentially tiny, blunt instruments of their own desires; they don't bite to be 'evil,' they bite because you're standing between them and a plastic truck. Look for a generalization that suggests an action should be judged by the actor's specific motivation or goal rather than the unpleasantness of the act itself.
