[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would ignore the people who are talking badly about a CHILD and schedule a weekend morning park playdate. Judge from there with your own eyes. [/quote] You got that one of the people talking badly about the CHILD is OP's own child, right? Who does not want a playdate with this kid because he hits and threatens other kids? [/quote] There was a child with some challenging behavior in my daughter’s class. I told my daughter to lead with empathy, but protect herself, too. I explained that when kids are acting out, they’re usually not feeling okay (threatened, scared, anxious, overwhelmed, sad) and not sure how to handle all that. It’s okay to reach out and try to just be kind or a calm presence even if you’re not going to be besties. A lot of kids have been though trauma with Covid, and this is our kids’ lifelong peer group. Avoidance isn’t going to serve them well.[/quote]
