[quote=Anonymous]I think it depends what "acting out" is like for your kid. If it involves behaviors that other kids are unlikely to be able to manage on their own, then I think it's appropriate for you to be there. I think it only becomes helicoptering if you are constantly assisting/interrupting when no one needs you to do that. Like if you think he might hit someone, you should be there. If you think he's going to cut in front of kids and maybe yell a little, the other kids, especially if there are some there his age, can probably handle it. FWIW, my kid is older, but at that age I would have been nearby just because of his anxiety and lack of assertiveness. He's not a kid who acts out but he is vulnerable and I wouldn't necessarily trust other kids to be kind. But I always worked hard to ignore things that didn't need my input and spent a lot of time pretending to be engaged in my phone.[/quote]
