[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help me out, I'm not saying my 6yo is never the instigator or always makes good choices when problem solving with her friends, but she is never the one to get physical/push/grab etc...and in turn it is easier for me to be a hands off parent and say "let the kids work out the problem
For themselves. How this works in practice though, is that it can leave me feeling like the other parent is having to be vigilant at parenting their child, while I hang back. It's making me self-conscious that they feel I am supposed to be doing something too. example, the parents are in the kitchen chatting while the kids are playing in the living room one kid thinks the game should be played one way, the other kid another way...shouting ensues, we stop chatting to listen, then [b]we hear my kid saying "stop biting me!" [/b]And then the other kids parent jumps up to go handle their kid. This happens multiple times, in various scenarios over the course of 2h. [/quote]

Does the other kid admit to biting?  Because it sounds like your kid is trying to manipulate the situation by lying.  6 year olds generally don't bite.  ever.  if this is happening multiple times with multiple different kids, i can almost 100% guarantee that your kid is lying.[/quote]
