Does anyone else find it heartbreaking watching their children take their first fledgling steps away from you and get knocked back?
Today at a play centre, dd tried a few times to play with other children and got pushed over and told to go away. I know worse things happen, and I'm probably being a bit of a wet hen but oh, I could have cried for her. She's only 2.3 - a group of about 5 children came racing and giggling past us having a fine old time and dd squeaked with excitement and went galloping off after them (she's only just learned to gallop) but they didn't want her to play too and she hung around the edges for a while getting withering glances, before giving up and playing a game by herself instead.
I want to make the world a wonderful safe place for my little girl, with sunshine and birds tweeting and rainbows ...
