My son is just over 2 and he has a speech delay. A little boy started talking to him in the supermarket. My son didnt respond in the way this little boy liked (he was about 5) so he started screaming into my son's ear.
A few weeks back, a little boy being pushed in his pushchair spit in my son's face as I stopped for a bit to look at something in a shop.
Now in both instances, i could have caused a "scene", instead i glared at the parents of each of these kids, as obviously children that age must get this behaviour from parents or kids they associate with.
What unnerved me most is my wee son didnt know that he had been badly treated, thankfully. But i sure did. I just felt oh boy, here we go, life in the big world has started. My son is not a baby anymore and will have to take the tumbles that life shoves in front of him.
What would you have done/said to the parents of these kids? By the way, the mothers of both children saw what their kids did to my son and they were both the "hard and rough" types you didnt want to smart mouth, if you know what i mean.
