How to talk to another mom about her child's behavior?
I got so many great reponses to my earlier question about a friend's child who is bullying my 4 yr old daughter in preschool. Almost everyone suggested that I talk to the friend (bully's mom) about it. How do I do that? What do I say? I've never been in this type of situation before, and I'm trying to think of what my reaction would be if the shoe were on the other foot, but I'm having a hard time being objective. Advice?

Most parents will never want to admit to you, let alone themselves, that there is anything wrong with their child that they or you should be concerned about.
Most parents think their children are "perfect angels", and while they are out shopping , and not staying home with their children and raising them properly, they think their children can do no harm. It's quite the contrary, isn't it?
I am single, never been married, no kids. Every day that I am out and about someone's child annoys me.
I have been known to go right up to that parent and say something. Because I can. Because I am a shopper, not an employee or manager of a store and afraid to offend a parent. And because they have it coming to them!
I think the best way is the direct way.
Perhaps in your case, you could present it in such a way that you are making a suggestion on how to remedy the situation, rather than criticize the parent. Your situation may be different if you have a lot of contact with these parents.
