[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This really isn't about gender.  It's not like you'd advise him to punch the other kid if it was a boy or anything.  He's seven, and he's dealing with another seven-year-old.  He got off the swing, and you can't "save" a swing on the playground.  He got off, another kid came to take a turn, he can either use the less-desirable swing or he can wait until they are done.

Assuming they had equal claim to it bc they both had a hand on it, what I’m seeking is words to deal with the “No you take that one” order. [/quote]

Well, she asserted herself first. Why shouldn’t he take the other one? What makes your son so special?[/quote]

Sheesh.  I’ll assert myself.  The question is not about who has the “rights” to the swing.  Let it go.  The question is about how much boys should assert themselves when being ordered around by a girl. [/quote]

He was not being ordered around. She made a suggestion. He can choose to take it, or leave it and have no swing. OP is just ultra-sensitive about any perceived slight to her lil precious.[/quote]

Lol no. She was like “you take that one”. [/quote]

She has no authority, so she was not ordering him around.[/quote]

Ok I like your philosophical approach. I’ll adapt that and let him no that other kids are not in charge of him. [/quote]

Correct. At the same time, I do think he ceded his right to the swing when he left it.[/quote]
