To tell a child / toddler to go away

[Whatisgoingona]

I take DS to a baby / toddler class on the weekend he’s one of the youngest in the class but a very adept crawler and quite confident

the class if full of lots of 3 and 4 year olds and one little girl is quite aggressive

admittedly DS does barge in as a 10 month old doesn’t really know excuse me yet but I do hold on to him let all the children get the toys that are put down before he shoots off

last week little fluffy toy whips (not the accurate term) where put down I let DS choose his, he wanted one in both hands and took him away just so no children would trip over him the little girl approached him and decided to try and hit him over the head aggressively not smiling or playing was I wrong to tell her to go away?

on other occasions DS was crawling on a blanket and ruffled it up she decided she wanted to straighten it while he was moving causing him to lose his balance (luckily I was there to catch him)

I feel a bit silly having such an issue with a child but her mum does nothing whenever my DS is around babies I keep a very close eye

😂😂😂😂

The OP literally said in her opening post that the kid had tried to hit her baby over the head. Thankfully the OP was able to stop this by being there. If some 3/4 year old was trying to hit my baby on the head then damn right I'd be telling them to go away. I wouldn't be allowing by baby to be hit until "oh it's not kind to hit babies" sinks in.

I have a 4 year old myself and I disagree with the comments here. YWNBU to tell her to go away when she tried to hit him. The other stuff I'd say was irrelevant, but your reaction to that was fine.

I remember being at a baby group with my pfb and being horrified by the seemingly feral toddlers. Then when PFB was toddling, being at a soft play in the baby section and having these giant three year olds rampaging around.

PFB is six now and I know seems huge and unwieldy to new mums of babies/toddlers.

I know a "I would never let PFB insert normal toddler behaviour ". It's so easy to think like that when they're very young. Her time will come. She'll learn. It's fine to be a smidgey bit smug before you've experienced it 😂
