Heidihi Said: "Saying that the kids in Dulwich park can be little monsters, my niece and nephew have been bullied by a few little kiddies in the park who liked to push and shove to get on the slides/swings! I tend to tell the parents off!" Ditto to you too, as you point out, kids can be monsters anywhere. By the way - as a nanny you ought to be aware that at around age 3 children start to develop a sense of ownership and posession which is what causes them to take toys off each other. It's got nothing to do with upbringing rather a developmental process.
