But even at playgrounds and public places like that I find that for the most part people are pretty aware if their child is bullying other kids. The only place I had an issue was when we went to Monkey Joe's (one of those indoor bounce house places) and this litle boy was following us around the whole time. But even then, he was being nice to M, he just latched on to us because his mother was ignoring him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1500321 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 08:35:35 +0000 mediagirl 1500321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: in the case I was speaking of, I was at a friend's house who had other people over who I did not know. Have you only ever spent time with your lo around kids of your friends? I'm surprised you haven't run into this yet. Not all people are as conscientious as your friends sound like they are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496536 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 02:26:08 +0000 lamariniere 1496536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I dealt with this several times last week. There is a kid from my son's school who has become the bully on the playground after school. He's also 4, so he should, in my mind, have some idea that he shouldn't push the other kids around. I saw him intentionally stick out his foot to trip a young toddler. I've been very vigilant every time this kid is near my son and have told him several times to stop pushing, I say "Child's name, you need to stop pushing/hitting/throwing, etc.". His mother is always off somewhere else, not paying any attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496532 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 02:06:25 +0000 BeachMama 1496532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just today we were at a shower at a park and one of the other kids around Dds age (that she's not familiar with) shoved her down and then laid on top of her. My Mama Bear came out and I jumped up and said "no! You don't push!" I kinda surprised myself at how strongly I reacted. I thought afterwards maybe I should've been more gentle (like saying "please don't push her). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496497 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 23:51:28 +0000 HLK208 1496497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say, no pushing or hands to yourself. I have no problem with it if the parents aren't paying attention. I don't mind saying it if I see another child get pushed too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496490 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 23:41:49 +0000 googly-eyes 1496490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it seems like my lo is going to get run over/shoved/whatever I usually just move her out of the way. As she gets older I will say something to the other child but right now with her being so little I just usually move her and say something to her like "let's just let these kids have a little space." I find that usually the other kid's parent says something to their own child. I guess I have been lucky, and also it's probably because lo is usually the littler one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496484 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 23:32:59 +0000 sarac 1496484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If their parent is stepping in to correct them. I just comfort my daughter. If not, I don't hesitate to tell the kid to stop it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496388 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 20:43:29 +0000 seabsher 1496388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I am the same way, and am hyper aware of watching my kid, but I do not find many others around me are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496266 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 19:00:40 +0000 matador84 1496266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pushing/hitting/shoving isn't nice and I know you are a nice boy/girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496261 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 18:54:58 +0000 MamaMoose 1496261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say something like "please don't push, it's not nice to push your friends". But I'm always surprised by these threads because I feel like my friends are hyper aware of watching their own kids for these things. Like we all tend to favor the other person's kid over our own if there is a dispute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496253 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 18:48:34 +0000 Kimberlybee 1496253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will jump in for my kid or any other kid too, and have said things like "hey you, stop that nonsense! Be nice!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496251 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 18:42:59 +0000 pinkcupcake 1496251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how old the kid is. If it's a little toddler around Lo's age (2), I'll usually say, "let's play gently!" Or something like that, usually in a sweet voice (at least the first time... Haha). </p> <p>If it's an older child, I'll say, "excuse me, please don't push her." I'm usually sterner :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496250 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 18:42:37 +0000 mediagirl 1496250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Sigh, I wish.

I definitely won't just sit by while my kid gets picked on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496248 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 18:40:43 +0000 mrs. wagon 1496248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shove em back! ;)</p> <p>I usually say "excuse me, no pushing please!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-react-to-kids-pushing-or-shoving-your-kid#post-1496246 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 18:38:34 +0000 mediagirl 1496246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My response today, to the kid who parents weren't watching was to say, "Mary*, no pushing Carol*." </p>
