I think us parents should teach our kids to be nice to one another more often. Today we went to the park and Aubrey kept telling me how she wanted to make new friends! I was so happy for her! We got to the park and there were so many kids! So we went to the playground and Aubrey was being friendly and saying “hi” to every little kid she saw☺️ unfortunately those kids would look at her weird. Well we decided to go to the swings and then Aubrey saw two little girls and she went to talk to them well one of the little girls told aubrey “stop following us, you’re not our friend” the look in Aubrey’s face🥺 I swear I tried so hard not to cry. I called Aubrey and I told her let’s go to the swings baby and she just stare at me with the saddest eyes ever! Fortunately there was another little girl and she made my Aubs happy! She played with her almost the whole time we were there. And then another little girl came and she seemed nice at first but 5 minutes before leaving she started being mean to aubrey. Aubrey kept playing in one area and the little girl was standing there and she said “just stop go away!” And once again Aubrey got a bit sad. I told the girls that it was time to leave an while I was grabbing Aubrey the little monster... I mean kid kept pushing violet!! So I grabbed my babies and I left! I knew aubrey was sad but this momma doesn’t want to see her babies sad so we made a little stop at Donald’s (McDonald’s) just to see my big girl smile again. I was honestly starting to like this place but ugh... I don’t know what to think. It really broke my heart🥺😢
Sorry for this long post but it really broke my heart because my daughters are the kindest girls. They love everyone💕

My daughter is extremely outgoing also. She’ll walk up to kid after kid, “wanna play?” “Wanna be friends?”. I was the same way as a kid. I wasn’t shy at all.
I’ve had to teach her that is okay if a kid doesn’t respond- just walk away. They probably were boring anyway. ❤️
Some parents need to do better.

Yes my daughter is the same! I need to talk to her about it. I just told her it’s okay baby they don’t want to play but let’s go to the swings. Broke my heart because she’s so nice and those little girls (same age as my daughter) were saying so many mean things about her.

ugh, I’m so sorry! It really makes me worry about when they start school. 🙁
I had an aunt with down syndrome… So I’ve also taught my daughter to say “hello” everybody… To never think that just because somebody may look a little or act a little different that that means they don’t want friends also.
To always be nice to everybody, but if somebody is mean to her, it’s OK to just walk away.

exactly!💖

Oh no :( kids can be so mean !
I always tell my son to be nice and he will ! I have him on a tight rope about being mean to other kids and adults. Not happening over here !
Cristina Valverde ·
He’s super friendly now. He just got out of his super shy stage
I hope no ones ever mean to him cause idk what I’ll do 😣

Let me tell you it feels horrible! As a mommy you can tell when your kids are hurt and let me tell you the look my daughter gave me... ugh broke me!

i Can only imagine :(
I’m so sorry they were so mean to your sweet girl. She’ll have lots of friends soon ❤️
Cecy Mitchell✌️··
oh I hope so💖

It's a bit of a cycle. Most of these kids learn this behaviour at home. So that means their parents aren't always talking nicely and aren't always encouraging friendly behaviour. Some moms have a hard time because their moms weren't very friendly. 🤷♀️
Cecy Mitchell✌️··
Yeah, honestly I’m not too friendly but that’s because I’m very shy. I’m nice if someone says hi to me I’ll definitely say hi with a smile and if someone talks to me I’ll try and keep a conversation but i just have a hard time keeping friends again because I’m shy lol😬 I don’t want my kids to struggle not having friends like i do now, so I do tell them to always smile and say hi to everyone.
What's It To You?·
That's how it was at the park by my house. Except the kids were bullying my baby and the mom watched them do it 😭😭
Cecy Mitchell✌️··
Omg that’s horrible! I’m sorry that happened to your baby😢 I don’t understand why they just let their kids get away with it.
Cecy Mitchell✌️··
@jennatess, I would do the same!
What's It To You?··
some people just suuuuuck. I've taught her that she can hit back if absolutely necessary but never hit unless she has to. Just walk away.
Her best friend was my best friends daughter but she switched up on me. So she lost her best friend around that time too. Everyone just sucks 😂

Omg it’s the worst when kids are mean to yours! I hate it so much. Mama bear usually comes out! A kid took a toy from my kid and gave him the meanest look and I didn’t know if it really was that kid’s toy so I told my son it’s okay we’ll share it and I released it from my son’s hand, and then I pulled him aside and told him what the boy did wasn’t nice, he wasn’t sharing but you were nice by giving the toy away. I always make sure he knows that the bully wasn’t nice and that he is a nice boy and try to build him up again. Make sure your daughter knows that those girls weren’t kind and that she is so smart and kind and friendly and that sometimes you just have to smile and walk away from people, because us mommies have to do that as grown ups too.

Yes💕 my husband and I had a little talk with her during dinner. We told her not all kids are kind like she is but just to walk away. We told her that we love how amazing, kind and smart she is that she doesn’t have to be mean like they are. She understood and said “okay mommy and daddy but the girl pushed sissy”🥺💕 like you said it’s just the worst when kids are mean to our kids because you can see that their feelings get hurt. Like I wanted to cry so bad

that’s awesome, you’re doing the right thing! She’s such a sweet protective sister. It’s always annoying when other moms and caregivers don’t watch their kids and they get away with being mean, or worse the moms see and don’t react!
Cecy Mitchell✌️··
oh yes! The moms of the 2 girls were all far away and they were chitchatting. The mom of the girl that pushed my 17month old was chasing her 2 year old but I think she saw because she kept staring at me🤷🏻♀️
