[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes we have done this many times. There is only so many times you can say the same thing. It's quite annoying. Look I get [b]kids[/b] [b]are[/b] [b]kids[/b] and they are going to tease, etc. What really bothered me was the adults who know all about the situation but still chose to make some very mean comments or purposely not correct their child. I recognize [b]no[/b] [b]one[/b] [b]can[/b] [b]make[/b] [b]this[/b] [b]better[/b]--people are who they are. We have always done our best to help our child and make people aware. This holiday for what ever reason was worse. [/quote] How the hell do you block text on an iPad? I just had to do that word by word. Ahem. Anyway.... You absolutely CAN make things better. My kids are extra nice to their cousins. They are on their absolute best behavior at family functions. And you better believe I (and my husband) want to hear about it if my kids are not behaving that way. There is no reason you can't say to a mean little cousin "how would you feel if someone said that to you?" "if you couldn't do something everyone around you could do would YOU want to be made fun of, or would you want to be able to count on a family member to help you?" be assertive, politely. Kids definitely can change, if they are shown the error of their ways. Show them. Be the village for the few minutes it takes to see the situation from your angle.[/quote]
