As someone that has had a 21 month old that it’s now older… The playground is not the place for them when the bigger kids are there. Go when it’s really quiet.  Big kids don’t see little kids. They just don’t.  It’s not because of their parents it’s because they’re playing and it’s how it’s always been.  Bothered me me too until it really sunk in that I needed to be the one responsible for my child safety.  Of course kids need rolls but also kids that are more vigorous don’t need the same roles that a tiny child does.[/quote]

So is there a mass message when older kids are not at the playground? /s

Seriously,we are the playground during evenings and on weekends like every other family with kids. Not to mention, this is a toddler-specific playground. Also, I am within a hugs reach at all times with my kid. I am intervening and protecting- constantly.

You're giving the boys will be boys reasoning and its a scapegoat. Little kids should have less emphasis put on rule following because it is harder for them to comprehend. If your 6 year old cant share equipment and watch out for others- they need to leave.
