It is interesting getting all perspectives, and I'm sure the little man will no doubt be with the one being pulled away from a scuffle at some point! really enjoying getting feedbakc on this one so thanks.xMum Down Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03043443015139689232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247306167973874684.post-59005430947135439012012-10-23T07:16:04.124-07:002012-10-23T07:16:04.124-07:00Thank you for that.

I help run a preschool, and have been around tiny people for a while now, so it's not big deal for me to intervene, because we are clearly supposed to! However, when I am out with other people's little ones (mine are now older, Youngest is 8, Eldest is 23, and two more in between!) if I see a 'situation' lurking then I hover, and intervene if necessary. I don't think that I would ever discipline another person's child, but I will always remove the danger element. I CANNOT STAND it when well meaning parents start telling my child to say thank you, or eat nicely, or stop making that noise. It SO enrages me, as it is none of their business, and only when you have a really good heart connection with someone else's child can you even begin to start thinking of disciplining them. And then only with the blessing of the parents. SO tricky! But you clearly did the right thing... interesting to see what everyone thinks. It seems we all feel the same.

If my Little One was ever about to harm another child, and I wasn't nearby, and another parent stepped in, I don't think I would mind - children need to have it mirrored from other adults, not just their parents, that we don't cause harm, hit etc. Older Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923339244117157344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247306167973874684.post-52363302239305513562012-10-17T05:34:09.053-07:002012-10-17T05:34:09.053-07:00I'd definitely have stepped in as you did. The...I'd definitely have stepped in as you did. The hard part is knowing when to step in. Another child did hurt Pip at a play area a while ago, and I spent too long observing, feeling out the situation and then couldn't get to him quickly enough. Dealing with your child when they've actually been hurt by another is awful. Especially when they're young, and they don't understand why.<br /><br />I think you did the right thing and I'm very glad to hear that the other parent was so sensible about it too.Mummy Plumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746501465644149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247306167973874684.post-50673838804785546492012-10-17T00:27:45.126-07:002012-10-17T00:27:45.126-07:00Oh it's a tricky one, and as my child seems to...Oh it's a tricky one, and as my child seems to be more of the like of the tearaway child I quite welcome anyone stopping from hurting someone else, within reason, much like what you just explained. I'd much rather be having words with him about not doing something after he'd be been stopped than the embarrassing moment he hurts someone and all eyes go on me!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084831697775817170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247306167973874684.post-63550359446087121232012-10-16T10:12:38.867-07:002012-10-16T10:12:38.867-07:00I know l can go on a bit, on peoples Blogs, with m...I know l can go on a bit, on peoples Blogs, with my comments....<br />This will be short and sweet....You were, and acted, as far as l'm concerned, in the correct manner.....Absolutely....!
