[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wrote back and said, I have told my kids not to tease, BUT in my opinion, it is much, much worse to physically assault another child, esp. to the point where they are scared and can't breathe. If you are being teased, you can walk away. If you are being held in a vice grip, you are stuck. [/quote] What do I think? I don't like how you compared the two behaviors. If teasing is wrong, then it is wrong. There is no "but" about it. When did you tell your kids not to tease? Did they comply? What are you doing to follow up? If physically assaulting another child is wrong, then it is wrong. No need to qualify it by saying the person can't walk away compared with other infractions. It's just wrong. My opinion is that a third party to mediate between you and the other parent would be useful in this situation. [/quote]
