How can that be considered gentle parenting when it or he is hurting other children? I don't understand it. This mother has no concern about the impact of her parenting in a group situation.
Oh I pray my little girl never comes across anyone like this, I know she will but I really hope I am there to protect her
(I just deleted half my post because that got me so angry and I don't want to offend anyone)
I just want to add that I don't believe in smacking or 'naming' my child or anyone elses but if my child deliberately hit another in such a way I would definitely let her know what her actions have done and that it is wrong.
One thing I want Maya to learn early is action causes a reaction which in this case she would be shown what 'damage' she had inflicted and learn to apologize for her actions. This mother did nothing to her child but yelled at the other mum and that just astounds me. What has this boy learnt so that he won't do it again??
