[quote=Anonymous]I have read the whole thread. I live on the west coast. I ALWAYS talk to kids and make small talk. Complimenting them, asking about their day or activities, things like that. If I have a problem with how my kid is behaving, I bring it up with my kid directly. When I am responsible for supervising kids (either when volunteering at school or on field trips) I use language like, "I'm uncomfortable with you doing X because I am worried you will get hurt. Can you get climb down please?" OP, you have been super defensive on this thread and it seems like you aren't listening. My kids are 4 yrs apart in school and there have been times that I instructed my older kid to be nicer to his little brother. The power dynamics were all off in what you did and you should have spoken to your older child at home about it if you wanted your older kid to not exclude the younger one. Period. I hope you have learned something from this thread. [/quote]
