Any parent can find themselves in this situation when they have to get involved in a child's conflict.

Often you have to scold someone else's child or act in some other way, for example, if someone else's child takes away toys, and his parents do not pay attention to this.

How to act in such a situation is reported by the publication Lady Mail.ru, citing experts.

Experts assure that in most cases children understand and respond correctly to comments.

As the results of a survey conducted among 7.5 thousand respondents show, 52% of respondents consider it normal practice to scold other people’s children.

48% of respondents were against.

From a scientific point of view, this can only be done in your own home if other people's children come to visit your child.

In this case, you can forbid other people's children from doing anything that is not allowed in your home, but is permissible in their families.

If the situation occurs in front of the parents of someone else’s child, who do not react to his rude behavior, then experts advise the following.

An adult not only can, but must intervene in a conflict between children if their safety is at risk.

However, you must not grab someone else’s child by the hands or exert any other physical influence on him.

You can make comments, and in a stern voice.
