Some random 2 year old was pushing my sons head and my instinct was to shout, how would you have handled the situation?

1 Answer

Answer :

Well, being upset would certainly be normal. You didn’t do anything wrong, for certain. I’m sorry your little boy had an upsetting experience. He will have the reassurance though, that Dad is there to protect him. That little girl likely doesn’t have any such stability. I would have approached the mommy. I’m not saying you are wrong not to. I am not saying I believe myself to be more correct. You asked. That’s what I would have done. If a confrontation came about, a call to the police would have solved matters, because they wouldn’t much care to know a girl that small is playing unsupervised. In regards to her behavior, is it any wonder?Given what you witnessed, it is probably what she has learned is her only way to achieve attention from people. One moe step. I have seen kids approach mine and do similar behavior. I may not be responsible for riasing those kids, but I am resposible for the safety of my own child’s environment. I have spoken with such kids, always they ask forgiveness when I point out that it would be appropriate. It has helped my own children in seeing the situation for what it is, an inablity to communicate, rather than some personal attack. With some children, they have ended up becomming friends, and I continued to dicuss behaviors with them.
