Okay, here is my questions to everyone out there. When do kids get mean? Case has been around a couple different kids the past couple weeks and all of them have been older and meaner. I'm talking about smacking, hitting, pushing, taking things out of others hands, spitting, etc. I know small children don't understand that they can hurt another person and they are not being intentionally mean, but it still hurts Case when gets smacked in the head with a toy truck. He has been a victim of all these violent offences over the past couple weeks and his little face tells the tale that he just doesn't understand why someone would do this to him. Knock on wood, but Case does not do these things yet. So tell me, when can I expect his cards to turn or is my baby cut from a different page? And should he be playing with other kids who act like this (I want to prolong this behavior as long as possible)? Thoughts? Opinions? Share please.
Who would want to be mean to this sweetie?!

Interesting question. There have been studies on empathy in children, but I think kids model behavior. Of course, it makes you wonder where these other kids are modeling this behavior from? It has to be hard though, because you want your kids to be kind, but you also worry when other kids are mean to them. Have you talked to the kids or their parents? Stop hitting Case dammit!! :)
