Well, a woman in a playgroup gave me good advice- empower your kid! So, a year ago Jake (my 4 year old creampuff) got knocked down HARD by some brutal 2 year old girl. Yes, I used 'brutal' to describe a female toddler! Well, he smacked his head on pavement pretty hard after she pushed him off a toy at a playground. The mom of this playground perp looked at me like"bring it on". It was not brought, or brung or nuthin'! What to do? Sit and take it? Scold a stranger's kid? So my sage playgroup guru Christy said "go tell Jake to tell that little girl 'No pushing, pushing is not nice'" Well I did. And he did! And he felt much better for confronting her. Now he has a baby brother and is becoming a snitch, but that's another story! Heh, up for some good ol’ 2am breastfeeding here and thought I’d check out your site.
