[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids behaved normally. The girl was rude but it may have been addressed in private. My son teased a younger boy at the playground. I wanted to talk with him right away but with an audience of his friends his humiliation would have been worse than his teasing. After we had time alone, we discussed how he would want older friends to treat him and how he made the little one feel. I am sure he will be nicer to the boy now versus if I embarassed him and gave him a reason the resent the other kid. [/quote]

Why wasn’t taking him aside and addressing the issue quietly, so his friends couldn’t hear, an option? Or at least a real time vague, general reminder to play nicely? If my child is being mean, I’m not going to place her comfort above her victim’s. At times like this, I say I have a question for dd or I need her help for a second and then we distance ourselves and I correct her in the moment. Your kid feeling guilty later, when they can’t go back and change their behavior doesn’t help anyone.[/quote]
