Do you think it is ok to reprimand someone else's child?

What has happened when you have reprimanded another child you didn't know?

Yes, it is (12.0%)

Only if I know the child well (22.5%)

Only if they are hurting themselves or another child (54.9%)

No, it is their caregiver's responsibility, not mine (10.5%)

    It takes a village to help raise a child!

    I'm a teacher so I often reprimand other people's children. However, in my personal life, I would only ever do it if I knew both the child and the mother well, and I knew that the mother would trust me to do so. The key is discipline, not punishment.

    I agree with Rissabp. I am a teacher assistant so I do it often as well. I would not do it in my personal life unless I am in a position to do so and is trusted by the child's parents to do so.

    there have been times when my childrens friends have been over and they've needed a reminded on whta our house rules are-MIGHT be DIFFERANT at their house, If a child at the park was acting out I only said something if they were hurting or bothering my own kids.

    Only in a case where the child is in danger but there are always boundaries you do not cross- never okay to hit a child especially one that is not yours
