What would you do if 6 teenagers were around and one put your seven year old down verbally? |
At the BMX track. I was in the van watching my daughter go around on her brand new bike. 6 teenage boys were a few feet away in the skateboard area, and the one went on the track with my daughter and did some jumps. My daughter came to the van and started to cry. She was riding along and one of the teeangers said "BOO". She was very upset and self concious as it is her first big bike with 5 speeds! I got out and was very angry. I told the kids off and that it is a public park and that little kids need to learn to and that it NOT appropriate and they need to show respect. I was VERY angry. What would you have done? Exactly what you did. They needed to be told off that their behavior was unacceptable. That's pretty much all you can do. I sure hope my kids grow to be better behaved than the teenagers I see in the park. If I catch any of them acting like that, there'll be hell to pay. It'd sure be nice if older kids would try to set a better example for little kids. i would of done the same.... I would have done the same thing! I would explain to your little girl that there are kids out there who are not always nice. That there behavior is not the way to behave. I definitely would have done the same. Teenagers need to learn respect somewhere, and if you have the opportunity to teach them - so be it! I would have said "listen here skater boy, she is six years old not 16, you could have scared her off of her bike, watch out for little kids!!" i would have just clocked them in the face All they did was say 'Boo' one time? It's understandable that your child felt bad about that. Sounds like she's self-concious & sensitive. Depending on his state of mind at the time, my 7yo son might have started crying about that, too. But, it wasn't really all that bad of a thing for the teenagers to have done. Stupid. Maybe a bit insensitive, but they had no way of knowing how sensitive your child is/was at the time or that something so simple would be so upsetting to her. Some kids that same age would have laughed at the same thing & loved the attention from the big kids. My 5-yo daughter probably would. At the most, I might have gone over & talked to the teenagers, let them know that she was OK, but that they just surprised her/embarrassed her. Maybe remind them that little kids and all people, really, can be sensitive & that it's best to make sure someone's OK with it, before you start goofing around with them like that. |
