With kids 5 and 9, you have to address it right then. You also hopefully have a patient friend--kids can be hard on friendships. (OPC--other people's children.) You have to teach the lesson right then. Model a better way to handle conflict.

There is too much leniency and lack of parenting due to laziness/lack of respect for others. Children aren't born well mannered- they must be taught.
They must be told to stop such behaviour. Immediately. They must be taught acceptable from "un" |

love the idea of a public poll, however in my case, and mine only maybe, I would need a little more info. You said grab from hand or face? Confused.. big difference if just wanting something or actual violence. I can't answer truthfully yet.....sorry. Fun idea to ask all!

I would say excuse me to my friend and take that child to the bathroom for a time out and to talk to the child and have the child go back to the table and tell the kid he is sorry and why he is sorry.

If *I* was having coffee with a friend and my 5 yo violently jerked something out of his friends hand I would calmly interrupt your thought, gently take my boy by his hand, alk him outside and have what I call a *Come to Jesus* talk...

...which really has nothing to do with Jesus but how we treat other human beings regardless of any provocation real or imagined. I am HUGE on respect and manners...HUGE...

If my kid did it? Same as Laurie- private discussion IMMEDIATELY, then back to say sorry and why. Other mom's kid? If other mom does nothing I would calmly and firmly ask for grabbed item back, explain why not ok, ask child to apologize

1-see if 9 yr old can work out conflict correctly on his own,2-if 9 looks at mom for help, then say to 9 'that wasn't a very nice way of asking, was it?' then turn to 5 and say 9 knows how to share, would you remember to ask next time? & smile

certainly ignoring it would do nothing in the long run to teach the boy how to treat others, neither would "reacting"..I agree with those above..reminders of how to treat others, how we should let others treat us & how 2 apoligize when we are wrong

assuming the 9 y/o is yours and the 5 y/o is hers... i would turn to "her" and ask... "how do you normally handle a situation like this?"... this will immediately place the responsibility where it belongs... on the parent of the disruptive child.

If the 5yr old were my friend's child, I would turn to my friend and ask "you going to do anything about what just happened there?", and allow my friend to discipline her child the way she sees fit.

i would ask for the item and hand it back to whomever it was taken from. make the aggressor look into the eyes of the other and apologize. then they would have to hug it out. (pretty obvious i have two girls, eh? lol)

ok, let's try this again:
i would ask for the item back and hand it to whomever it was taken from. i then would ask the aggressor to look into the eyes of the other and apologize. then they would have to hug it out. |

It depends- was it my child that did the "hitting" or my child that received the "hitting". If it was my child that did the hitting I would address it immediately. There is such a lack of parenting these days. It drives me crazy.

ok- me I Do spank but depending on if this was repeat beahvior and attitude etc.. The offender would be removed from the table and talked / spanked or both. This is not acceptable.

a 5 yr old should know better. I mean, you have to do a lot of work in the first 5 yrs, at 5 you can see what your gonna have at 17 to the 10th power. that behavior is unacceptable, and should be dealt with. that might be a child w/ anger issues
