[quote=Anonymous]Omg. Two neurotypical 5 year-olds should be capable of negotiating the dynamics of a playground slide by themselves. And if they can’t, it’s probably because they have had hovering parents who run and pluck them off at the slightest sign of discord. Good parenting does not mean curating conflict-free playground experiences. It also does not mean giving demonstrations of your parenting superiority through over the top and performative discipline. Obviously if there is a safety issue or a major age/power differential it may take some intervention but a parent waiting and observing to see if they work it out is just doing their job.[/quote]
