Ran into another bully today at the park.
And this time, the boy's dad and I were standing no more than 3 feet away from our kids. The first time, he started throwing those little pieces of bark at Nui-nui. He then walked around and pointed his finger on Nui-nui's cheeks.
Perspective A: He was being friendly and those were signs of platonic engagement
Perspective B: He was being hostile and was showing signs of dominance
Like last time, I didn't want to deal with this.... so we went of to play something else. Moments later... the little twerp came trotting over; he removes his hat... and flings it at Nui-nui. I had enough... I simply said, "Ok...we're outta here." Grabbed Nui-nui and left.
The little runt's dad apologized and said, "we're out of here too."
Next time this happens.... I won't be so kind. Nui-nui needs to learn that her dad will defend her and she will find protection with me.
