This is not the first time he did it to my daughter i am so pissed of and angry. the day before he scratch my kid's face till its bleeding. I can't even sleep because the angry feelings. What would u feel if u were me? And what would u do to stop him doing that again? Looking forward for your suggestion. Thanks

If you're around when they're playing and you see the other kid hurt your kid, tell the kid no and not to do that while being stern. Maybe give him a time out or something? I know you can't really discipline other people's kids but you could at least make him sit in time out or not let him have a treat or something. Also, tell the kid's parents and maybe they'll do something about it. I would be angry too if someone else's kid was hurting mine.

Then maybe you have to tell the parents of your feelings since they didn't do anything despite of informing them. Try to say that maybe you or they must do something with the behavior of their child because the next time he might not just scratch someone's face.

Me and other parents whose our kid beaten and hit by him had told about this to his parent but it is sad to know that this is only a common naughty of a kid so this boy still harm other kid when he play and can not get what he wants

Hi ifa dear . It happens in schools and in early schools. You don't get much anger friend. First you meet her teacher to show what her problem is. It would be the best way to stop that kid to harm you in the coming days. It will help take care.

Oh how it would be friend with those emoticons I guess that kid is learning from his parents to bully other kids (and proving for that his mom never consider it least). You better complain it to her teacher about her problem. There they will take care. We have to do it if parents are not responsible for their kids.

If anybody hit my child, I have to say that I would shout at them even if it was not my place to do so. If it happened in school then I would try my best not to get involved, but I would certainly make sure that the teacher was doing her job and sorting the situation out. It would be hard if I was close to the parents because of the fact that they would obviously take the side of their child, but at the end of the day it is your child who has to be the top of your priorities and this means that you might have to take a step that you might not really have wanted to.

I read your responses so my suggestion would be that you try to prevent this naughty boy from playing with your daughter. I had a similar situation too. Although for me I have heard how his parents reacted to his naughtiness (which is also similar to yours, his parents didnt seem to do much) and did not approach his parents at all. Be consistent not to let him play with your daughter. Tell him firmly that you do not like him hurt your daughter. Be persistent and make sure he goes away. This may take sometime so be prepared to have your household chores held up by this. But your daughter is more important so hopefully he knows what he does is wrong and starts behaving better. You have to keep watch and see that every time he comes by, you have explain that if he does anything naughty, he has to go away. For me I also explain to my son why I do not want him playing with the naughty boy. I think you should explain to your daughter too. Maybe tell her to stay away/come into the house when he comes by. Hopefully you wont have to do this for long. If the other children do that also, it may teach the naughty boy how to behave well faster.

Hi mom thank you for reading all the responses and comments. .I really appreciate it i guess i will do that. ... Tell him to not come around again because he had hit my daughter because speaking with his parent is only wasting time Tough they know i feel so angry about this..she just taught that he is just a kid who can be naughty sometimes and kind too in other time. Oh for note..he is 8 years old and my daughter is 6 yo i need to protect my daughter of being hit again

For the sake of your daughter, i really hope that what you do to protect her will work. Since his parents are not going to take action, we have to do the most to not have harm done to our own children. This makes me remember an incident whereby my husbands 17 yr old niece was beaten up by her hooligan-like schoolmates. To me she is a good child. The incident tells me that maybe those schoolmates are jealous of her that they beat her up. I was so angry. I thought about it and enroll my then seven year old daughter into her brothers martial arts class, silat. The class seems to be very good and make the members take a pledge not to use their martial art skills for doing bad. What I want is to build confidence in my daughter so that she will know what to do if anybody wants to hurt her.

As for your child, try explaining to her that playing can sometimes bring about pains, cuts, and bruises so as not to give him trauma from this incidents. But for the other child, the one who hurts, there is a possibility of an underlying disorder. If the child is known to always hit other kids, he needs help--clinical help. What did the kid's mother say regarding his behavior?

If its not the first time the other kid will get a warning to remember for the rest of his/her life. Trust me I really mean it..and you will get respect in return...with time . (even if I think back I will get angry..I think its part of being a parent.)

Hello ifa. Why are you letting these two kids play together? This is a no brainer. If a child was hitting or scratching my kids face I would forbid him to play with my kid.

Well ifa if it is your yard you can lay down the rules. either follow them or go home. My neighbor would send my kids home when they got to fighting. Then she would call me to let me know why they were sent home. You can forbid the kid from coming over. Just send him home.

Hi dee it is hard to forbid them to play together since the kid is my neighbor. He is only two houses away apart from my house all i can do is watching them whil they are playing. But it is hard to do cause i have house chores to do so i can't watch them all day i tell his mother to put his son to stay away from my kid but he always came around when my kids were playing outside i had told my kids to stay away from him too but there wwas a time that i can't forbid them play together

I am not a parent yet but I would probably talk to that kid's parents if I was in that situation. I have to tell this problem right upfront and see what the parents has to do or say about it. Then, I would not let my child play with that kind of kid anymore. Your daughter would better off without that kind of problem.

I am sorry to hear that your kid got hit by the little boy. If I were you, I would tell the boy's parents about it to have them educate their child not to do bad things to other kids. Also I would ask my kid to stay away from getting close to him if he is aggressive to others as always. Or I would warn the boy in face that his behavior is not welcome and is unacceptable to others. We need to do something to deal with this. Otherwise this little boy would keep on doing so. Take care.

ifa if I were in your shoes I would get to that brats parents, any child that hits your child in her eyes has real problems for sure. tell them what their brat has done,its not right,he cannot do that and someone is going to trounce him,I would be so angry but I would surely talk to the parents and ask them to do something to stop him misbehaving like that,see the school officials to as they need to watch a kid that hits others in the eyes area, that is dangerous.

Hi ifa... At first i wish to suggest you not let to play your kid with that aggressive guy. I definitely would punish him to mean that when he hurts, it brings pain to the soft body of your girl. Surely i would not be so harsh with him too. Next you should consult with his parents regarding this issue. If they ignore it then whatever is going to be, you are not in fault anymore. Have a nice time. FOR TIPS write to me.

Hi Sibhie i talk to his parent about this but sadly. .She felt that his son is innocent. She said that he was only a boy..later they would be friends again and forget about this yeah probably the kids would. .But i can't forget it just like that now you are becoming a type consultant?

that is really bad...also i had the same feelings when my daughter's classmate a boy, kind of like strangled by daughter when she was only sitting down..he was like a bad and naughty little boy..i get kind of pissed really pity my daughter that whenever i see that boy i don't want him near my child,..he might bully her again.i hate anyone to abuse or hurt my little girl...i feel like i wanna go to the child, i know he is just a child, but this kind of behavior must be corrected so that it will not happen again. i think it would be best to talk to the child and tell him that what he is doing is not right and shouldn't be done again. also it would be good that the parents know about what their child has done so they can teach and correct him how to treat and behave well towards other children..not to hurt, bully or abuse anyone.

Hi Jado I feel bad too that the same thing happened to your daughter i believe his parents is really responsbility to treat him to behave but what i see is Everytime he hit any other kid..they will protect him from the angry of parent's whom child is abused they will keep him inside and not to tell him to face the mess that he made by asking an apology or something i talked to his parents about this and guess what she said to me "oh come on..he is only kid" I can't accept this explanations it seems that his mother let this thing happen over and over again

Go up to the kid, grab him by the shirt, and tell him very forcefully not to do it. Hitting your kid gives you absolute permission to do this to that kid. Tell your kids to not be scared of him, and to tell you whenever that boy is mean to them. I have had the same problem before, and I went up to that kid, literally dragged him to his parents, and told them what happened. We stopped having connections afterwards.
