[quote=Anonymous]My 4 year old sometimes has problem with personal space. Especially at train table, he likes to play crashing his train into other kid's train on purpose (often upset other kid), likes to has his train follow so closely right behind other kid's train (often upset other kid), likes to race his train to past/jump past other kid's train (upset other kid) etc. They are all little kids, range from 2-6 years old, and they are still learning to play. I find out that I always correct/step in to correct my son's behavior when it is his fault, and I also step in to interrupt to ask my son to give way/have his train flied to other corners when it is partially or fully other kid's fault. I think I just hate conflicts, and want to my son learn how to play well with older one or younger ones. The older ones sometimes play rough (grab my son's hand or use body to squeeze him to the side), and I am afraid that he gets hurt. And, I don't like to see the younger ones to cry or whine (sometimes my son's fault, sometimes they just fight over a train & it is not my son's fault) when they interact with each other.

I have seen some parents do nothing & just sit back. And, I am wondering if I interrupt too often to prevent him from learning better play skills on his own or am I doing correct to interrupt all the time. In daycare, there are so many kids to watch, and teachers do not step in right away until the conflicts continue or gets worse among kids. Should I do the wait and see approach, maybe wait for a minute or so? What's your thought on it?
