[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]teach your child to make good choices[/quote]

So every hurt kid is making a bad choice? Nobody is perfect and it's not always about choices. Some other kid can plow into one minding his own business and hurt him. Or the kid in front of you randomly stops on the slide and a bunch come right down after you and you're the one hurt. No choices were made unless you're suggesting never use the slide, or monkey bars, or any playground equipment. [/quote]

And herein lies the problem; playgrounds are fraught with dangers lurking in every nook and cranny - the monkey bars, the swings, the whirly thingies, the oversized 7 year-old, the overly protective parent, the underly protective parent, the list goes on…

But, it is also crammed with many life lessons - watch out for the bigger kids, know how to share (and conversely, when not to share); don’t get get sandwiched on the slides, don’t walk under the adventurous swingers (entendre?), and listen to caregiver who says “stay where I can see you.” In other words, make good choices; and don’t be like the PP above who gaslights with specious argument…
