I understand exactly what you're talking about as the same thing happens to Chloe all the time. But watching kids a bit older than her, I've realized that they become very protective of their personal space and that I need to teach Chloe to respect that too. It's something they need to learn too. Just think how you'd feel if some one started stroking your hair or hugging you, especially when you

Being in the child care field there are always some children who were rougher than others. It was so frustrating, but we always had to remember that they were so young. At this age you know it's something they see or learn at home:( One of the kids would body slam the others and we found out the Dad loved to wrestle with him. Seemingly harmless, but not when the little boy couldn't understand you

I was going to say that this was a cute picture but now I am reading the comments and know that wasn't your intention. Sorry that the girl was mean, there used to be a boy in a playgroup I attended that was horrible to the other kiddos - glad I stopped going!

We had the same problem when landen was Tate's age. He was always trying to hug all these kids and they would get so mad, push him. It made me want to cry.. they thought he was some sort of freak or something because he wanted to show them love. We're huggers at this house --- well to our children. Ha ha! Landen is a bit more rough now that he's older but he doesn't try to hurt people. Like you

That is so hard. There is a little boy in one of our play groups that is mean like that. It just hurts your mommy heart when you see your child being pushed away. It's so hard- and I know that it will only get harder when they get older.

If only everyone could be as sweet as Tate. It sounds like he is a loving little guy. I know I always struggle with what to do when other children are mean to my daughter. It happened just last week at a play place and the mother of the other child was there. She didn't do anything. I never know if I should say something or just shut up. Give Tate a hug from us.

That is a very hard thing to see. You have to wonder if that little girl is not used to being hugged by others and therefore didn't know what Tate was doing. I'm glad it didn't effect his wish to be close to other children.

Poor Tate. I know how you feel, it breaks my heart when I see kids being mean to Gavin.

Oh- that is so sad that she pushed him away. I am sorry! I feel so bad for Tate. I am glad that he still loves hugs and being kind. (of course he does with you for his mommy!)
