[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at a family/childrens event the other day when I saw from a distance that my child was acting up, age 7. I was walking over to my child when another parent who was by my child stepped in and firmly told my child to stop. My child listened. As I finally got there, I said thanks, and we started chit chatting. I know some people don't like to discipline other kids but for me, I love it. Don't be scared to step in and say something.

I'm afraid you're an exception.  A few years ago, we were at a playground that had a tent covering.  An older kid was hanging/swinging on the crossbars on the tent.  I kept looking around for the parent but couldn't find anyone that seemed to be watching him so after a while I told him it wasn't safe to be hanging on the crossbars and he needed to get off them.  I wasn't mean or angry or anything, just matter of fact.  Seconds later his dad comes over to me and reads me the riot act.  I just looked at him and said hanging on the crossbars could bring the tent down on the kids underneath.  I mean, come on!  Only a fool (or a kid) would think it was okay to swing on the bars that are holding the tent up!  And, if he's big enough to grab onto the bars, he's probably too big for that playground![/quote]
