[quote=Anonymous]If it's a safety thing (about to fall or get hit by a swing) absolutely. If it's something I can do in a hands off way (tie a shoe, retrieve something out of reach, pushing a bunch of kids on a soccer swing where I'm only touching the swing) I'll do a quick scan to see if their adult is nearby and could do it. If no one is around to help them, then I do. If I find a child who is lost or crying I will help them find their adult. I don't usually help with things that involve me picking up, or otherwise touching a kid I don't know unless I get an obvious OK from their caregiver. With my kids friends, I'll push them on the swings or help them jump down from a height, etc. Caveat, I'm a woman. I think men are often more reluctant to help because they worry about bing accused of doing something inappropriate. [/quote]
