[quote=Anonymous]We've had several experiences recently with older (4-7 year old roughly) children nearly injuring our 16 month old For example, she was going down a slide, but slowly because she is not good at lifting her feet yet. A roughly 7 year old gets to the top, DH says "please wait until she is finished," 7 year old comes barreling down the slide without waiting, and DH yanks DD out of her path half a second before kid would have crashed into her. Another time recently, she was walking on a bridge that shakes, and a 4 or so year old runs in and starts shaking it violently and would have thrown her off it if we hadn't quickly grabbed her right away. We generally have been trying to re-direct her since she is so little/slow/unsteady, but at what point would you say something to the other kid or a parent (if one is even nearby...)? DH spent an hour at the park yesterday mostly moving her from one place to another as bigger kids made it unsafe for her to play. [/quote]
