“Who knew that kids could be so mean so young?! Took Taj to the park today and when he ran over to the water fountain to get a drink there was a little group of boys there probably ages 4-6 filling up their water bottles and when they saw Taj, one of them pinned him against the brick wall and started punching him and another one thought he would join in on the fun and cornered Taj in the bathroom and dumped his entire water bottle out over Taj's head and down his back. Taj is a 2 year old, what kind of kids do that to 2 year olds?! We need to teach our kids to NOT be bullies when they are young!”A 2 year old…. Really? And it doesn’t even have to be a 2 year old to be terrible. Who does that? Where are parents? Who is teaching kids manners, respect, and kindness??
My kids will never bully and if they ever do there will be serious consequences. They won’t learn violent behavior from me, so if they do where will it be from? TV? I am very careful what I let stream into my home, I don’t let my kids watch junk on TV. My kids try things, they are toddlers and sometimes they hit and bite. When they do they get in trouble. Even better I try to prevent it from happening in the first place or happening again. I try and teach them to love each other and think before they act.
This is mostly a rant, I am not trying preach about how to be a good parent, because heaven knows I have a lot of work there. I just don’t understand how society got to this point. Where are the parents of these bullies? Or are they there and if so why are they allowing this kind of behavior?
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the nation. Or it’s something like that. We as mothers have so much influence on how our children turn out, and a society is only as good as the people within it. Lets take care to teach our kids, not let them run rampant and keep our wonderful country from turning into a violent ravaging place.
