Q:
How should I handle an older (girl) kid (5 or 6) teasing my 22 mo old boy
Yesterday while at the toddler park two girls came up with their mom and dad. I believe they are Spanish or Asian I'm not really sure. Nonetheless my 22 month old wandered over by them on one of the bouncy toys on the playground. I watched as he climbed on the toy in between the two girls and immediately one of the girls started calling him a girl. My son doesn't remotely resemble a girl, in fact he's so stocky most people think he's 2,3, or 4 years old already. I told the little girl that he was not a girl with both of her parents standing within ten feet of us both. My son again climbed on the the bouncy toy and the little girl said to him get off because you are going to hurt your "ka,ka" and start calling him a girl. I was very taken aback that a young girl would be using such language and in plain view of her parents. I told her again that he wasn't a girl and we proceeded to leave the playground because at this point I felt the little girl was being very disrespectful to me and my son. I also thought it better we leave so I didn't say something I'd regret to the little girl. What do you think and how would you have handled this situation?
