Ok so here is scenario: DSese were having playdates with a boy at nursery school who is an only child. this all seemed to be going well and then the other boy's manny started making excuses to our nanny about them not meeting up. Today our nanny told me that in fact the boy's mother has banned the playdates because she perceived the boys to be behaving too roughly together in the playground. I quizzed DS1 (4) about it and he said that he had pushed the boy "by accident" and the boy had hit his head and then cried until he went home (our nanny never mentioned this). Now I feel I should do something about this in order to a)apologise if necessary to the boy's mother, b) ascertain whether DSes are being supervised / controlled sufficiently by our v nice but somewhat laidback nanny. Don't see the boy or his mother much as nanny usually takes DSes to school and don't want to make too much of a big deal out of it. I am concerned to know whether our nanny is supervising properly but I also have a sense that thsi other boy's mother may be a wee bit over-protective (I believe her to have banned other playdates in the past). So, oh wise ones, what would you do?
