| My 2 year old son has this friend who is always mean to him! I am teaching my son that hitting and swearing is bad so when his friend hits him he just cries. I have talked to his mother on more than one occasion and nothing seems to happen. I am at the point where I am going to stop this little boy from playing with my son but the only problem with this is that he really likes this boy and cries when he cant see him I have no clue what to do. The little boy is 3 years old and he swears,hits(very hard), screams, doesnt let xavier play with anything( he takes any toy he is playing with) I really do question the parents but that is not my place to say anything any advice would be great! thanks |

| I wouldn't let this boy be around mine if he hits....I have a cousin and her youngest(her daughter) is 2 and she hits, If she hits my son I will be telling my cousin off |

| I have talked to his mother but she keeps saying "it is just a stage" but like I told her today My son is a very polite kid and her sons habits are rubbing off on him because at this age their minds are like sponges. xavier sees that he gets his way when he acts that way so maybe I will too and that is not the case. I have told her (today) that I cant let my son be bullied like that anymore she got offended but what can you do? I just feel bad because xavier doesnt have other kids to play with ( he is going to start preschool soon). |

| Stand your ground. You cant raise this other woman's child, but you can do what is best for yours. If you "feel bad" about protecting your child from a 3 year old, how will you ever stand up to him when hes 15 and tryin to hang out with druggies and prostitutes? (A bit of an exaggeration, but I'm sure you get my point) He doesn't know what is best for him. You do. If stopping him from playing in the street made him feel bad, would you just let him do it to spare his feelings? No. He will make other friends. Some good and some bad, but it will be up to your discretion to make sure he is being influenced by the right kind of people, regardless of the tears! |

Hello,
I have a daughter that will turn one next week. She doesn't really have friends.
She is a pretty good girl no hitting. This is all good advice and I do agree. I wouldn't let my daughter play with another kid who acts that way towards her.
BUT I do have a question ... what happens when Xavier starts preeschool (you mentioned he was starting soon right?) You can't really be with him while he is in school and I'm almost positive some kid will be nasty .... maybe not nasty towards him but you guys are right at that age they are like sponges he will pick it up...
I'm not trying to start anything I'm just thinking and getting myself ready and prepared. |

I was at a library story time yesterday, and this little kid shoved my 2 year old son really really hard. My son just looked at me confused and I said, "that's ok honey, that little boy isn't being very nice". I'll tell you what, I wanted to scream at that kid's mother when she did NOTHING!
If I were you, I wouldn't put my child around that other child ever again - there are things beyond our control, but this isn't one of them.
That child seems like a terror. |

| I completely agree Lauren! I was blown away when his mom did nothing and what I didn't understand was how does this little boy know how to be that violent at such a young age? I am so sad that he is exposed to these kinds of actions! Holly, I know that he is going to be exposed to this when he goes to preschool but my problem lays with the mother. I am so angry that she just allows her son to act this way! Just telling him to stop isnt going to do anything when there is obviously a lack of discipline. It just makes me sad that he cant play with this boy anymore because his mom doesnt know how to be a "mom" and just wants to be friends with her son. |
