[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here...I think the "raiding" is part of the game in a way.

the two big kids also guard a certain piece of playground equipment and tell the other kids they can't use it so my kids try to use it.

I think what is happening is that the two big kids are being controlling jerks so the 4 other kids bug them in return.

I don't know...I think we may all sit down and talk about.  the mother of the other kids who is being squeezed is concerned..and she asked her son, what exactly are you all doing to "tease" that is bugging the two big boys and her son was at a loss to think of anything besides "raiding" the fort...so she told me, Stand your ground on the teasing thing..Do not concede that your kids are actually doing any teasing because we have no evidence that they are actually doing any teasing..[/quote]

What??

First of all, either the raiding is part of the game -- and they all agree with that -- or it isn't.  In other words, are your kids actually part of the game or aren't they?  It shouldn't be a tough question.  If raiding the trading post isn't part of the game then your kids are being a royal pain in the ass.

If two big kids are guarding a certain piece of playground equipment then get a supervisor to deal with it.

Getting physical is never okay, but all you are doing is coming up with excuses for your kids' behavior.   They are antagonizing people, and then crying foul when someone reacts.[/quote]
