[quote=Anonymous]First, I am so sorry.  Glad your neighbor is coming over.

Second, I'm a little shocked at the people suggesting that the boy be hunted down and punished.  Or worse, go after his family.  How can you even think that the best thing to do is sue the family?  How does that help?  No offense to the OP, but in her emotional state, it's easy to push the blame to a third party.  A big mean kid pushed her three year old.  Maybe there is more to the story.  Maybe he was behind her and touched her and she fell.  Maybe he was goofing off and didn't realize there was another kid.  Or maybe, he just made a horrible horrible decision, got impatient and pushed her.  But seriously, if the little girl hit her head and was bleeding at the playground, I'm guessing the boy has already been taught a lesson for life.  I mistakeny broke my dad's nose with golf club...30 years ago...and to this day I cannot pick up a golf club.  Knowing you harmed someone is very deep punishment.

Third.  Good luck to you.  I know I constantlty tried to balance the need to protect and the need to empower my child towards independence.  I know it will be difficult in the future to try to not over protect.  [/quote]
