good topic! We haven’t really had too many run in’s with this.

I’d be looking for parents too, but if they didn’t do anything, I’d be sure to say something because you want to send a clear message to both children that bullying is not tolerated!
Shanan says
I remember before I had a child being so careful and cautious when I was watching my niece to not offend any of the parents. I can’t explain why now–maybe a fear that I would be called out as not belonging…not being a parent at the time?

I’ve been known to the park nazi or mama bear who is there to protect the kids in my care from bullies. I normally will talk tot he child, and hope the parents make the connection and also come over and apologize and possibly disapline thheir child!
Louisa says
Great post! I’ve been on both sides of the coin and I have to say I really appreciate it when people say something to my child but in a non-agressive way. At this age they are still learning and I don’t think being agro with a child you don’t know helps anyone though I can fully appreciate the “lionness mother” thing coming out too. I probably would have said something to the child too and tried to remove my child from the situation if I think it needed it. I’m not sure if I would call this bullying though – I think at this age they are still learning a lot about empathy and while they know right from wrong are still at the prime age for exploring cause and effect. Thanks for getting me thinking! x
Emily says
No I agree my example wasn’t bullying, especially at this age. However, if not stopped at this age or corrected it will turn into bullying.
(Although I have seen children bully at this age bc it was they see in their home :: MAJOR SAD FACE.) But I have also seen older kids who bully on the playground, or take control of a certain piece of equipment and don’t let other play, and get aggressive when kids try.
I am the same way in that I would like others to be able to tell my son that hitting isn’t okay or nice. And of course I would always do it in a non-aggressive manor and hope others would too. It could have just as easily been my child pushing kicking, taking toys…
Louisa says
That’s it totally (for me) – it could just as easily have been my child! The hardest ones are when you encounter a parent who doesn’t think it could have been their child. But that’s a whole topic in itself! 🙂
