It's annoying when the caregiver(s) aren't paying attention at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/correcting-other-children#post-2435225 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 15:06:15 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2435225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's fine!</p> <p>I had to tell kids (10-12yrs old) to watch out for the little kids. They were playing hide and go seek with their eyes closed on the park structure. They were plowing kids down. They said sorry... Then continued to do it. I gave a look once more and the sister got them to stop, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/correcting-other-children#post-2435208 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 14:26:05 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2435208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That was a great way to get them to listen to you...compliment &amp; a request.</p> <p>I've stepped in before to prevent a kid from being destructive or messy. It's usually when their parent isn't paying attention and a little attention and direction goes along way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/correcting-other-children#post-2435127 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 13:02:38 +0000 alphagam84 2435127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely scolded a tween at my sister's pool this summer. He was throwing a football while in the pool and had already hit someone with it. He threw it really hard to someone who was close by, it bounced off them and hit me in the head. My sister said "watch it, she's pregnant!". I was super pregnant and he goes "good, it'll knock some sense into the baby". I told him what was up and said no more football in the pool. He was there with an aunt or family friend who clearly wasn't supervising. Totally embarrassed my sister! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/correcting-other-children#post-2434720 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 20:54:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 2434720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had to tell bigger kids to watch out for the little ones, like 5-6 years olds running off energy after school and just not noticing the 1-2 year olds. Their parents or grandparents were there and just paying no attention. </p> <p>And I snapped and yelled at a kid who was yelling at my 2 year old. He was being a little punk and really yelling at her. I probably should have been calmer but whatever. Don't know where his parent was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/correcting-other-children#post-2434715 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 20:50:50 +0000 FaithFertility 2434715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Definitely, our play area at the mall is a mess, sad but it is just a war zone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/correcting-other-children#post-2434712 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 20:49:57 +0000 FaithFertility 2434712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gracecat: There were no parents around, I honestly think if there was I probably would have just left, it was a small park I couldn't go far enough away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/correcting-other-children#post-2434711 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 20:49:17 +0000 Mae 2434711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is so weird to have to say something to other kids! I try to avoid it but there has been a time or two at the play area in our local mall where some older kids (who are way too big to be playing in there anyways per the height restriction) sprint around and knock the little kids down/climb over them. I've totally told a few they need to watch where they are going and not plow down the toddlers. Gotta do what you got to do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/correcting-other-children#post-2434700 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 20:41:33 +0000 gracecat 2434700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was the right call in that situation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/correcting-other-children#post-2434696 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 20:31:19 +0000 FaithFertility 2434696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the first time today I felt like I had to say something to another child in my child's defense DD is 13 months!</p> <p>At the park there was a group of 4 boys ages 6-10<br /> They were throwing mulch saying<br /> Butt hole, a** munch etc...</p> <p>They were running ramped throwing mulch from the top of every slide and across the park.... I finally in my "teacher" voice said "Hey boys she is watching everything you do since you are older and cooler can you please set a good example and not yell those words and keep the mulch on the ground!</p> <p>They were sweet and changed their tone quick!</p> <p>I just felt odd..... </p>
