It’s so HARD when OUR child is the one being mean! You handled it really well, bravo to you. When my first daughter was a toddler she hit another tot in play group. She was the first to hit – my husband said be patient, the others will try their hand at hitting – or biting – eventually (and they did, & their moms went thru the same horror as me, asking themselves horrid questions like, “is this genetic? something I did? is my child MEAN?”)
So I handled that and at the next play group my daughter was ON TOP OF another tot and it looked like she was STRANGLING her. Holy God was I mortified. The mom didn’t really want to play w. us again (please note: HER child became the biter) – anyway fast forward, that tot is now a really lovely, nice 9 year old who is not mean to others and who rescues kids who she feels other children are being mean to. Anyway – they have to try their hand at different “styles” – like what it feels like to be mean, but it thankfully doesn’t mean they’re going to be like that for life. (-;

I just realized that there’s something wrong with my blog comments! I’m not sure how to fix them. But thanks for letting me know it’s not working for you too!

WordPress tends to be a bit tricky!

I love the way you handled your daughter’s situation though and your idea to lead by example. Great post.

You sound like a wonderful Mom. You could give Mommy lessons to some Moms I have encountered during my teaching career. Bless you for taking the time to instill the importance of not excluding others in your child! .-= veterankindergartenteacher´s last blog ..Blogging About Daylight Savings Time From A Kindergarten Teacher's Perspective =-.

Those early lessons of kindness and compassion are so very important! My daughter is grown now and has her own daughter, and I can safely say that I’ve been a good role model. (bragging a bit, I admit!)

Recently, I wrote a letter to my granddaughter, Greta, and the theme was kindness. Here it is to all those who may like to read it:
