[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s somewhat normal for kids to test limits with behavior like that, but it’s the parent’s responsibility to teach them that behavior isn’t acceptable.

Nerf gun - kids do that, but I teach mine we absolutely do not shoot other people without consent (if at all). Nerf gun would have been immediately removed.

Throwing the doll and saying I’m a dummy - would have gone home if kid was alone, otherwise would have to sit in time out the rest of the playtime so other kid isn’t punished.

Saying I hope she dies - absolutely unacceptable. Time out the rest of the playtime, punishment when we got home, and a very very VERY long discussion on why we don’t say things like that.

Sounds like a sad situation. Boy is learning to be an abuser, girl is learning she doesn’t get protected from abuse. The parents need to intervene. Really concerning how many people here think this behavior is acceptable because “boys will be boys” - no, boys need to learn to not be violent. [/quote]
