Poppy the conflict mediator

Yesterday at the playground, Poppy overheard some boys (kindergarten or 1st grade maybe) saying Ozzie was a baby and laughing at him. She came to talk to me about it and emphatically declared that those boys should be ashamed of themselves. I told her not to worry about it because Oz didn't even know what was going on and what others think is their own problem, words can't hurt us, yada yada. A few minutes later I look over and she's over there giving those boys a stern talking to. They apologized for calling him a baby and explained they hadn't been laughing at him but at something else. So once that was cleared up, they all played together.



I don't know where this child came from but I sure learn a lot from her!
