Just read your reply Rebecca. There was a NASTY little boy in the chick-fil-a play place last week. His parents were sitting out of sight of the playstructure. He would haul off and smack my 2yo, who is a tough kid. I walked in the door, and he started apologizing. I told him that if he hit my boy again, I was going to go find his mother. He left Samuel alone. However, later, he bit the CRAP out of my 5yo. I made sure my son was ok, and was on my way to find his mom when she came in. I politely told her that her son had bitten mine quite hard. She said,"Sorry, we were leaving anyway."
I figured they were leaving, so there wasn't a reason to pursue it.
I also want my children to know that I will ALWAYS back them up. Celeste, my oldest, was surprised when I told her she could fight back. She is a very law abiding child. She was concerned she would get in trouble at school.
I assured her that her safety was more important, that I would stand behind her in the principal's office and tell them she did the right thing. I also told her that if they thought she did a wrong thing by protecting herself, that I didn't trust them and she could come home for school, no problem.
