[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I yell at the older kids; yeah, I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it.  We usually go really early in the morning when it is all little kids and I do agree with the other posters that I only let my toddler play on the younger playground equipment.  Then I don't feel bad about yelling at the 9 year old barreling around the 2 to 5 year old equipment.  They are all labeled.  [/quote]

Uh, yeah, you're just in the wrong. And that's bad modeling. You don't like the way other kids play so you yell at them. Good luck teaching your kid not to do that. And let me guess, you have one child.[/quote]

Thanks!  I'm sure you are 100% perfect in every way and never worry about others hurting your children bc everything is modeled so appropriately in your life!  I bet it is your 9-year old trying to shove off the 3 years olds on the toddler play equipment.  As you obviously sit there and just judge everyone around you.   [/quote]

Nope, I have a three year old and a tiny two year old. But I am indeed cognizant of the fact that they will someday be 9. And I am chasing both of them, so not a lot of time to judge or hover. I am sure they will figure it out. [/quote]
