[quote=Anonymous]We live in an apt with a shared pool, and the 'deep end' is off-limits to kids. So usually it is my kids trying to get in the way of the big kids who are playing. The older kids are actually great - they are careful and even share their toys/games with my kids. It's awesome. I do try to keep in mind that these are all kids. They are just playing. And so if/when I need to bring something to the attention of a bigger kid, I use my manners and say 'please' and 'thank you'. Like, 'Hey, watch out for the little kids please!' or 'Hey hon you're too close'. If there is an issue with squirting, then I ask 'Could you please watch where you're squirting? Thanks!'. 99% of the time just one, nice, clear reminder is all it takes. I do have to say, as a mom of 2 high-energy, rambunctious boys who constantly test limits, that this stuff comes out of my mouth before I can even think about it. It would probably irk me more if I had laid back, obedient girls :)[/quote]
