Mama bear reactions

[diana51]

My DD is almost 3 years old and I know I'm going to be running into this situation more often. How do you react when other kids are mean to yours? Right now DD is like a big puppy and has no idea that the other kids were being bratty but I still wanted to take those kids down. I know it will be so much harder when she is older and she is feeling hurt and sad.

What should you do if another kid is snubbing yours, or tattling on minor things that your child is doing? How do you not lose your temper on the other kid, and how much do you interfere? Especially when the other kids aren't being really mean, just that normal kid stuff.

Give enough time to see if the other child's parents are thing to handle it. If they don't I'll step in and make things right. (My DS is 2.5).
