[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm hesitant to intervene in kid things unless there is something physical/violent (e.g. what the 9 yo did....) or tears. Maaaaybe the 6 yo could've used a gentle reminder that the 9 yo asked him to stop, so he should stop. But really I think the 9 yo needs to learn that people are going to bother you but that doesn't mean you can shove them.[/quote] Lovely. My sister (13 months younger, much shorter until she got a major growth spurt at 13, always more slender) constantly poked, pinched and scratched me. That was the attitude my mother had: she’s younger/shorter/smaller, use your words only. Naturally, she took it as tacit permission to continue. I will NEVER tell a child that they have to stand there and have someone else be violent. I don’t care how small or large the movement is. Repeated poking bruises (ask me how I know), and both pinches and scratches can draw blood and get infected (again, ask how I know).[/quote]
