[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember hating those parents who policed the slide, saying in loud sing sing voices about how you have to go down instead of using it as a ramp to go up. But what a great opportunity for kids to work things out and learn social skills if one is going up and one wants to come down. But parents seem to have a hard time letting that interaction occur naturally, but would want to intervene. They would actually claim it was a “rule”. And if your kid spun in a swing? Same thing. I hated going to the playground when my kids were little just bc of the other irritating UMC parents there. [/quote] Yes and constantly telling the other kids to "watch the baby" or "be careful around the little one". So annoying. Get your 14 month old who can barely balance off the bigger kid equipment. Your kid will be big enough in no time, but not yet.[/quote]
