You teach them the proper way to react, and sometimes pointing out a wrong is definitely a proper way to react! You also taught him (or reinforced) that you are there watching, and ready to step in when he needs you. That you will let him handle things alone when he can, but he can count on you to be there when it gets too tough.<br /><br />We probably won't know what's going on with that other mother and child, if this was a daily struggle, if she has any support, etc. But you can't be afraid to do the right thing for your kids out of fear someone else won't be doing the right thing for theirs.<br /><br />You go, Mama Bear!:)Three Turtles and Their Pet Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14097199417023865939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104671949427542317.post-21376668343147051512011-04-20T20:13:11.863-06:002011-04-20T20:13:11.863-06:00My child #3 could easily turn into a bully. He is...My child #3 could easily turn into a bully. He is very aggressive, territorial, and protective of his big bro and sis. I have watched him shove an 8 year old who accidentally bumped into his big brother. We work constantly on empathy and kindness to turn his protective/aggressiveness into a positive. I say this because when we go into any play situation where things could easily get rough, I watch him like a hawk. I know he could go from playing nicely to aggressive pretty quickly. It's my job to watch him. It bothers me when parents whose children have similar tendencies don't. You should know your child well enough to know what they could do. Also, she missed a beautiful opportunity to teach seeking forgiveness and appropriate play. <br /><br />Anyway, I get on to other people's children and want people to get on to mine if they are being mean. They usually don't have to, because I am watching them and go intervene as needed.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596089861238768790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104671949427542317.post-20405729581986557202011-04-20T16:26:46.895-06:002011-04-20T16:26:46.895-06:00Great discernment Danica, You saw the true nature(...Great discernment Danica, You saw the true nature(spirit) behind the behavior. Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, etc."<br /><br />It is hard to walk through the pigpen without getting a little mud on yourself. I probably would have reacted the same way you did.Chasing the Windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480067982268460266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104671949427542317.post-68616656336733964182011-04-20T15:12:12.268-06:002011-04-20T15:12:12.268-06:00Thank you for sharing.

Thankfully, I did say what was needed and it was said kindly. In the situation at the playland...I am sure I would said something. You have given me something to think about.Abba'sJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515148567437733796noreply@blogger.com
