[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are use to looking after little kids you may be misinterpreting the actions of the older kids. Sounds like they are just letting off steam after school. That is what kids do - they run around at playgrounds.

And going to the playground alone is part of growing up. It is part of kids learning to be independent. Running up the slide is not the end of the world.

I go to a playground that also has lots of older kids. My 4 yr old knows that big kids play rough and that if she wants to play on the big playset while they are in the middle of a game of tag she might get knocked down.

Occasionally if the older kids get too rough or are making it so no one can play, I will say something to them. Not in a mean way but just point out the issue and ask them to move / stop. 99% of the time the kids comply - they were just caught up in what they were doing and in having fun and not realizing they had blocked the slide for 5 minutes or that they were making sand shoot up over the edge falling on the kids below.
