[quote=Anonymous]Funny - we go to a playground with one of those bridges, and I tell my 4 year old to get off when the 10 year olds arrive because they (rightfully) get rowdy on it and I figure if he can't handle the rowdiness, he doesn't belong there when kids in the intended 5-12 year age range want to play. With babies, we stayed away, unless no other kids were there. Older kids have so few places where they can play unhampered, test their own limits, and practice social negotiations. If I see something truly dangerous, I'll say something (eg kid swinging a big stick around on the equipment), but during non-school hours, i feel like it's my job to keep my little guys out of the way.[/quote]
