[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]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.[/b] 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] +1 Sooooo true![/quote]
