Dear my freinds,
i moved into a new neighborhood 2 months ago.
there is playground that serve all the complex and all the neibour's kids are playing there .
My 6 years old use to play with all the kids one of them is 9 years old ;i noticed that she is sufferung from anger problemes. i tried to keep my daughter away from her but the kid never stop bothering her and she started calling her bad names and even calling me bad names.
i told her mum but that didn't change the situation and made it worse she started insulting me in front of my door.
my daughter is really upset and i don't know what to do except keeping her from going out which is totaly unfair specially when she sees the other kids playing outside.
any help?

Thats to bad, her mother should do something about this. Your child has just as much right to play where ever she wants to. Kids can be mean especially when there doesn't seem to be any kid of discipline in her life. What I would do is wait til she does something again and whisper a few words to her that would scare her straight. Not like anything to serious since she is only 9 you say right? But a few good scary words for a 9 year old to take serious. If you don't do something your child is never gonna want to go outside again from fear of getting pushed around. Good luck I hope something works!!

my daughter came home running and her legs were shaking and when i told her i am gonna tell your mum about tht she seemed careless and said i really don't care.

hi seawaves is there a manager there who may sort of oversee
this complexes' playground? If so do talk to the manager about'
the nine year old bully whois harrassing your litter six year old daughter. I would tell the manager the name of the ineffective mom and the apt number, and if the manager does not do something about it you will call the police if necessary. a bully should not be allowed to harrass the much younger kids at all.

This is the best time to check her and restrict her activities. If the things goes out of control now she will be caught in the mess in this little again and spoil her routine. Now I would suggest you to fix some table for her and keep her busy at home. Watch the timings of the children in the park and make such a routine that at t that time your take your daughter to some other community park and pass some time there and possibly she may find some good friend there to play and may learn new things. Promise her to take her daily and take promise from her not repeat bad things there or any where. I thing it will work. How you see it please comment and have a nice day.

Hi! This sounds like a case of bad parenting. If you've already talked to that other child's parents and she didn't do anything, maybe you should try talking to the parents of the other kids and tell them about the situation. Maybe their children are also victims of this child's nuisance. If that's the case, maybe you can band together with other parents and file a formal complaint against them. It may sound a bit harsh but your daughter is being verbally abused by another child and that is very serious.
