I used to scold my nieces all the time though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153802 Thu, 10 May 2012 09:19:55 +0000 heffalump 153802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't had to do that yet, but if someone is hurting or attempting to hurt my LO, I'd say something. I don';t care if their parents get mad, maybe if they said something themselves I wouldn't have to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153798 Thu, 10 May 2012 09:17:54 +0000 mrs. wagon 153798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try not to, but a lot of times I REALLY wish I could!!!!!!! And if a kid is pushing Wagon Jr. down or something like that, something that actually affects us, I try to just gently explain "excuse me, please don't do that" and I try to bring it to the parents' attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153673 Thu, 10 May 2012 07:42:24 +0000 MsLipGloss 153673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Even before I got pregnant, especially if I was in the gym and a child came in unsupervised. Usually it is just a firm *hands are not for hitting/pushing* or *please don't touch that, it's not yours* or something along those lines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153609 Thu, 10 May 2012 03:45:01 +0000 Rosie Girl 153609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In that case, and I am not right there, I would just tend to my LO. But yes, I do scold other kids. My neighbor came over with her son, and he kept doing bad things, and I kept scolding him while she was right there doing nothing. Especially when it came to doing mean things to my kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153602 Thu, 10 May 2012 01:43:18 +0000 looch 153602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'd intervene. If the kids were the same age, then no, but if one is older, they likely can't work it out.</p> <p>I personally believe in the village approach to raising children, so I would for sure try to explain to the aggressor what's not okay to do. Then, I'd speak to the parent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153595 Thu, 10 May 2012 00:57:47 +0000 HLK208 153595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would. 3 year olds understand that's wrong so if no one else is teaching him, might as will!<br /> I typically don't like confrontation with other parents but I would probably give the mom a dirty look if she saw and didn't say anything. If she didn't see, I'd just walk away with my daughter so it wouldn't happen again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153592 Thu, 10 May 2012 00:43:34 +0000 lemondrop 153592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but not because of my little guy, mostly because kids come running up to touch our dog when we walk at the park. I scold them to stop and not touch a strange dog without asking. Fortunately it is rare, most of the time they ask first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153577 Wed, 09 May 2012 23:48:20 +0000 Sweet T 153577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have told the child "no" the first time it happened. After that, I would probably find the librarian and explain what happened and let them know that this kid is running around unsupervised. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153572 Wed, 09 May 2012 23:43:09 +0000 cyndistar3 153572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the parent is there and doing something about it I will leave it alone but if the parent doesn't seem to be doing anything I will certainly say something to the child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153543 Wed, 09 May 2012 22:23:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 153543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably tell the parent too. No way another kid is going to do that to my babe- that's so unfair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153541 Wed, 09 May 2012 22:08:18 +0000 brownie 153541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: Yeah, he was doing it on purpose I would definitely hunt down a parent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153539 Wed, 09 May 2012 22:06:12 +0000 Maysprout 153539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: yeah he did come by a few times, though he had an eye for when I was talking, he made eye contact with me a few times to see if I was watching. I was having a stare down with a 3 year old I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153537 Wed, 09 May 2012 22:03:07 +0000 brownie 153537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: That is a little harder. The next time he came by (it sounds like he did it a few times) I would tell him that he needs to keep his hands to himself. I have spent a long time teaching 3-5 year olds gymnastics and crossfit so I don't have many qualms about those kinds of things. I also would have probably told the parent or the librarian. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153536 Wed, 09 May 2012 22:00:11 +0000 Maysprout 153536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: He would push her then walk away. So that's why it felt awkward to go track him down to scold him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153535 Wed, 09 May 2012 21:58:34 +0000 brownie 153535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I would tell them that it isn't okay to push. Then I would separate them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153531 Wed, 09 May 2012 21:51:44 +0000 Minnie_Girl 153531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If they were literally pushing my kid around, yes, I would scold them and tell the parents. Getting told off by a stranger could be more effective than if it came from mom and dad. There's never an age where it's OK to push and hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-scold-others-kids#post-153526 Wed, 09 May 2012 21:46:48 +0000 Maysprout 153526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were at the library today and one little boy who looked to be around 3 kept pushing down my daughter, who's 11 months. He just would just find her and shove her it wasn't that she was getting in his way. </p> <p>When I was standing right next to her I told him 'No that's not nice' but another time I was talking to another mommy when it happened and felt weird going over to scold him. Little girl wasn't hurt or anything and she just picked herself up. The mom was reading and I don't know if she didn't see or didn't care. But he ended up attempting to push her down 4 different times.</p> <p>So do you go over and scold the kid or tattle tale to the mom or just tend to your own LO? </p>
