[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 534165, member: 14356"] TeDo - I understand what you're saying and I agree with you. Yes, difficult child did not hit the other child and yes, he tried to get the child to leave him alone. Other options need to be discussed with difficult child so he can learn how to deal with situations like this or how to remove himself from a situation like this. Maybe some role playing or brain storming - eg. going over to the child's parents and asking them to keep their child away from him. What would he say, how would he say it? Or go back to Dad and explain the problem and get help from him to deal with it. difficult child didn't handle himself really poorly but there could be some other skills put into place so that when this happens again difficult child can handle himself better. I don't blame difficult child for this because the other child's parents should have been aware of what their little one was doing and put a stop to it. But we all know that doesn't always happen. My difficult child did something similar a few years ago. He was 13 and my friends 5 year old was driving him batty. The kid just wouldn't leave him alone, parents were there and did nothing - and this had been going on all weekend - not just with difficult child - with everyone that was camping. Anyway, the little guy just wouldn't stop at one point and difficult child couldn't take it any more and he chased the child down and tripped him. Luckily the little one didn't get hurt but I was very upset with difficult child for not dealing with it better. So, I've been there done that and had to talk to difficult child about better ways to handle situations - it's so hard though because you just can't always predict what those situations are going to be. I guess the best answer would be to make sure that difficult child knows how to figure out a way to remove himself from any type of situation - even if it's to go and sit in the car, return home for a while, go to a different playground. Not fair but sometimes it's necessary. Sorry that happened Liahona [/QUOTE]
