[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say OP it would have been nice if your BILs caregiver or another adult on that side of the family— to include your husband— had checked in to make sure the kids were ok after what was probably a pretty dramatic event. That’s how we deal with hitting with toddlers, if similar cognitive ability, the attention goes to the victim not the hitter.

That said have *you* checked in with your kids? Because it’s more your responsibility than anyone else’s.[/quote]

There was no hitter. There was a flailer. [/quote]

A flailer who “started yelling, throwing things, and waving his arms. He almost hit my 6-yr-old daughter. My 8-yr-old son hid behind my husband.”.

This would be terrifying to a six year old. Their family could validate that they’d been through something scary.  The extended family acting like nothing happened isn’t fair on the children, and they’re going to resent time spent always tensed to run away at supposedly happy times.
