Re: Your Niece Posted: 02-18-07 03:32am
I know that you dont like me much but I
thought I would put in my 2 bobs worth
anyways. Please dont take any of this
offensively!
Firstly, I totally agree with one of the
previous posters in that this is normal
behaviour, toddlers dont share, they are
programmed like that! I know we all take
it for granted but has your neice ever
been shown how to share?? Maybe she
doesnt know how?? They dont come born
with this skill, it actually needs to be
taught.
I know it would be horrible hearing
someone talk to your son differently
(worse) than what you do but in reality,
it happens and theres nothing any parent
can do to stop that. When you say that
you want him to be able to stick up for
himself, you mean whenever a child says
something "mean" then he should belt them
up?? I have no problems with you wanting
to get him into boxing but just make sure
you send the right message to him.
Violence doesnt solve anything! I totally
agree that he has every right to defend
himself if someone is physically touching
him and he doesnt like it but if someone
is saying something that he doesnt like,
it doesnt give him the right to fight
them, just ignore and walk away. Children
can be downright mean at times, your son
wont be nice to everyone either but as we
get older we just start to tolerate
everyone even if we dont like them.
Anyways, thats my 2 bobs worth, I didnt
mean to offend you if I did!

Well, my niece always used to share with
him before, but it was after she came back
from her dad's that she started this, and
i'm pretty sure it's from her dad's wife's
oldest daughter which is like 6 or so.
And not all little kids are like that
because I never had a problem with this
sharing stuff with my daughter.
He is going to take boxing to defend
himself when needed, I don't expect him to
jump on anyone who calls names but I
don't expect him to let people call him
names either, and i'm the same way. If
someone is going to call me names i'll ask
them what's up to their face, if they do
it behind my back i'll still go up to them
and ask them whats up because I dont put
up with any of that kinda sh*t, it's
straight up retarded.
I know it's not her fault for being that
way, but I think the way a parent raises
their child explains it all, and brayden
will not act like that, he is good with
sharing right now and just because he hung
out with her he's starting the things he's
doing now and i've been working with him
and he's doing better but he wont be
around her for a while.
