[quote=Anonymous]Absolutely. I would ask the sad/hurt kid if they were ok / if they want help / if their parent is nearby - whatever is appropriate for the situation. If they don’t want help, I give them space. If I actually witness and hear kids being unkind I may say something neutral like “Everybody on here?” That’s usually enough to let them know I am watching and to knock it off. If I know the kids by name I may say “Larlo Smith, I think you know better”. It would have to be something significant for me to intervene with a specific punishment or calling a parent unless it is an activity where I am the adult leader/coach. If I am in charge, I make it clear that all participants are to feel welcome and included. [/quote]
