No, we don‘t push.‘‖ What happened next was unexpected. “ The boy‘s mother ran toward me from across the park.‖ Stella says. ―I thought she was ing over to apologise, but instead she started shouting at me for ?disciplining her child‘. All I did was let him know his behavior was unacceptable. Was I supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted, hurting other children in the process?‖ Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with other people‘s children has bee a minefield. In my house, jumping on the sofa is not allowed. In my sister‘s house it‘s encouraged. For her, it‘s about kids being kids: ―If you can‘t do it at three, when can you do it?‖ Each of these philosophies is valid and, it has to be said, my son loves visiting his aunt‘s house. But I find myself saying ―no‖ a lot when her kids are over at mine. That‘s OK between sisters but bees dangerous territory when you‘re talking to the children of friends or acquaintances. “ Kids aren‘t all raised the same.‖ agrees Professor Naomi White of Monash University. ―But there‘s still an idea that they‘re the property of the parents. We see our children as an extension of ourselves, so if you‘re saying that my child is behaving inappropriately, then that‘s somehow a criticism of me.‖ In those circumstances, it‘s difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the parent first. There are two schools of thought. “ I’ d go to the first.” says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky Kids, “ Usually a quiet reminder that ‘ we don’ t do that here’ is enough. Kids have finely tuned antennae(直覺） for how to behave in different settings.” He points out that bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel neglectful, which could cause problems. Of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headaches, too. This is why White remends that you approach the parents first. ―Raise your concerns with the parents if they‘re there and ask them to dea
