Sometimes a butt kicking is in order, when someone is doing something completely inappropriate, like racial or homophobic slurs. But most the time, a comment like "I don't know if you are trying to be mean, but I'll assume you like me and are trying to give me encouragement, so I'll accept chipmunk as a term of endearment." Certainly not in those terms, but something Maisey can say that is easy and puts the pressure back on the other child. Do they really want to be mean? Make a choice!<br />Papanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272434515884535066.post-15156321650942346922013-02-19T09:49:40.957-07:002013-02-19T09:49:40.957-07:00Sorry about Maisey - I have no idea how I would de...Sorry about Maisey - I have no idea how I would deal with that situation. I need to prepare myself now I guess because I tend to overreact to things like that! I can't believe how young bullying starts. <br /><br />Maisey is such a pretty little girl. I hope these girls aren't successful in making her think otherwise.R and Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213567674136975301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272434515884535066.post-80468326094941156312013-02-18T12:42:35.258-07:002013-02-18T12:42:35.258-07:00I agree, its not a fun ting to worry about your ki...I agree, its not a fun ting to worry about your kids and it can really hurt sometimes too. When Kahau was having kids make fun of her hair and eyes it was really an opportunity to build up her personal self esteem up. It took some practice but (in all honesty) learning to deal at a young age with mean people can really be a valuable lesson. Now in Middle school she could care less what people think of her bc shes happy with herself.Dana and ohanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06345528105371177742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272434515884535066.post-51542319953878092552013-02-15T18:03:03.328-07:002013-02-15T18:03:03.328-07:00you make me nervous for my kids to get older only ...you make me nervous for my kids to get older only because that is when the real parenting begins! keep us posted on how you decide to handle the maisey situation i would love to know a good way to handle that because im sure someday i will deal with it. you are better than me if someone made fun of my kid in front of me i probably wouldnt have had the self control to handle it well like you did. hang in there my friend!
