Real Moms Weigh In: Should You Discipline Other People's Children? (Video Blog)
Tweet
It's happened to us all: You catch someone else's kid breaking the rules and can't decide if you should say something to the child, mention it to the parent, or just let it go. What would you do? Our writers discuss the etiquette of disciplining other people's kids, whether it's strangers in the grocery store or your friends' kids at play group.
Listen to their discussion and then tell us what you think in the comments: Are the rules different when you're disciplining a stranger's kid instead of a relative? Do you step in when there's a safety concern, but not when it's a question of manners? Has anyone ever disciplined one of your kids -- and how did you respond? We want to hear about it.
