The thread about the "proper little madam" got me thinking. DS is a confident wee boy and talks to anyone and everyone. I think lots of that is because we live in a small town and there's a real community thing going on, so everyone talks to him and he's very uninhibited even with strangers. However, this translates to being bossy, with adults and children alike. He's always telling off his friends for not holding hands near the road or similar, things that their parents might have different rules about.
So I think maybe I need to have a talk with him about this, but I have a knack of being verbose and crap at getting my point across, and I don't want to stifle his outgoing nature either. Any suggestions?
