[quote=Anonymous]I would have told off the 6yo, no question. I would be much more gentle with the 9yo, who has a right to defend himself. The reason is that the 6yo was being physically aggressive and refused to stop. Kids don't magically stop shoving or harassing at a certain birthday-they need to be TAUGHT and experience consequences. If it was just verbal, I would expect the 9yo to not shove. My experience? It is the shorter and younger kids who get away with battering and bullying other kids and grow into tyrants because people focus on size rather than who is the actual aggressor. The 9yo asked, apparently repeatedly, for the 6yo to leave him alone and respect his space. The mother should have intervened and removed/redirected the 6yo. The 9yo wasn't getting support from the actual adult present. Good for them for sticking up for themselves when the adults around failed.[/quote]
