      And, somewhat specifically, the idea that you need some kind of balance between helicoptering over kids and leaving them totally alone.

      Like. Okay. My kid, who is three, is the size of a five or six-year-old. We've met literal schoolchildren who are smaller than him.

      He's always been big, he's physically really strong, he was slightly slower to speak than some his age - and, as some toddlers do, he hits.

      He's also an only child who, due to various contextual factors, was really undersocialised when we lived in the UK. (That's a diff. story.)

      Which means that, when he plays with other kids now, I'm very aware of a) his ability to hurt them and b) the need to teach him to NOT.

      This means I am somewhat eagle-eyed when he's playing. If I see him hit, I pull him aside, ask him to apologise and explain why it's bad.

      Happily, this seems to be working. He loves to play, and he's really very sweet - he's just still learning sharing, manners, all that stuff.

      And yet, so often, there are parents who just... find it odd? That I do this? And I honestly DO NOT GET IT.

      I don't mean parents who accept that yes, sometimes kids hit and that's a thing you have to deal with, and give you an understanding smile.

      I mean parents who laugh off the fact that he hits as fine because he's a boy or who act as though toddlers should just self-police hitting.

      Parents who, when I ask my kid to apologise to their child for hitting them, tell me that he doesn't have to. And every time, I just. What?

          In that moment, the point isn't us adults understands that little kids hit. It matters to THE OTHER KID to know that they shouldn't be hurt.

          Today, my son was playing with another little boy, about his age, both quite rough and tumble. I watched to keep an eye on it all.
