Bun had his first playground scuffle this week. A little girl his age smacked him and pulled his hair. He was stunned and didn’t hit back or cry. Her mother smacked her and yelled which made her cry. He was worried at her wails.
Later when I put him in the car seat to leave the playground, I told him it was okay if he tells someone to stop hitting him. He said “Yeah, I no cry”
This boy of mine is so brave. I wonder where he gets it. He makes my heart burst with pride every day!
It’s so hard to know what to do in situations like that! I go all statue-like with my mouth hanging open.
