[quote=Anonymous]I agree it's the parents, but more so not correcting the behavior rather than the parents' poor modeling/being mean themselves. I've witnessed parents ignoring or just not seeing exclusionary, mean behavior that is subtle and carried out by slightly older kids. Everyone corrects their 4 year old who hits, but many do not correct their 5 or 6 year old who is suddenly acting like the queen bee, or whispering secrets, or excluding younger kids from the game. That type of stuff is more nuanced (older kids do want to play together sometimes), and it's very natural in many ways, so I think it's harder to know how to deal with as a parent. [/quote]
