Ignore technique

[playfelt]

There is certainly something to be said for kids work things out for themselves unless as you say physical harm is involved. It also helps to observe who is the bully and who lets himself be bullied just for your attention too and how often the roles change.

We also have to remember that not all play rules are for all ages and expecting sharing, taking turns, not hurting another child's feelings, understanding what it means to say sorry or chewing with our mouths closed are not always appropriate expectations and we have to turn a blind eye for a few months/years till it is.
