So what do you do when another child hurts your child and the parent of the other child doesn't do anything about it?
I went bonding with my 2.11 years old daughter yesterday at a certain kid's playroom. I just let her play and roam the whole place without running after her. I was thinking that she couldn't enjoy the whole playtime activity if I would go with her anywhere she goes. As she was playing, out of the blue I heard her crying so loud since she could't talk that much well, she showed my her arm terribly bitten by a kiddo same age with her. As a mom, I couldn't help but felt sad for my daughter that time. I wanted to talk to the guardian of that kiddo but all I had in mind that moment was to comfort my daughter and wanting to talk to the parent slipped my mind. .. Then a few moments, another kiddo for about 4 years old cried , spanked at her back by the same kid. Any experience like mine? All she did when we went home was to complain about her hurt arm. :(((

I would definitely go to whomever that child belongs to and let the person know the horrible thing the child did. Especially after the second incident he did, the kid definitely has a problem. I would not be surprised if the kid's parents seem to be insensible; obviously they do not do a good job raising their own kid.

yeah... i tried to look for the guardian but as I could see the kid was left alone in the playroom... after 30 mins I guess I couldn't see the kid anymore.. The parent might picked up the kid without me seeing it. :(

I will feel really bad if my child was hurt by another child and the parent of that child would not even do anything to discipline their child or even to comfort my own. I would of course let the parent of that child know that it is not good to tolerate the wrong doings of their child. I won't quarrel with them but I would give them a piece of my thought on that matter. Of course I won't hurt the child because he is too young to know what is right and wrong. The parents should teach him while my duty is to secure my child away from that kind of child. Indeed it is the parents or the guardian's responsibility to keep that violent child out from other kids.

If another child were to hurt one of mine, then the best thing that I would think to do would be to talk to the parents of that child and tell them about what had happened. I would hope that they would feel as though they should do something about it, as I would not like to be thinking that my child was doing anything that would hurt others. I think that it is up to the parents of a child to be teaching them lessons in life, so it is important that they do this so that each of their children is able to grow up knowing the difference between right and wrong.

I will really feel irritated and go to the extent of slamming that kid,these kind of intolerance cant be adjusted any time and these must be thought a right lesson and its not the right thing to do.so talk to other kid and make sure patience is maintained and harmony is best anytime
