What do you do when other people's children push/ snatch/ be aggressive etc in the playground? I don't want to be an ogre but went to a toddler gym event this morning and my 18 month old was pushed several times by a child the same age and the parent did nothing. Obviously allowing for different developmental stages for children (wouldn't expect a mother to take action with a 12 month old, asides moving them on), what do you do? With slightly older children I"m normally fine saying 'just a moment' or 'lets wait turns' and I don't feel like a monster, but was so at the end of my tether this morning. Is it a case of 'let kids be kids'??
