M.B.
I am always in the same situation being a military spouse. I have run into a lot of families that have, what I would call out of control, kids. I at first said that my kids would not play with them because of how they act and their chose of words at times. I soon began to see that it is not always the kids fault that they act that way. They are usually just doing what mom and dad are doing and how they are acting. So I have told my kids that if they want to act like that then every time they act out something more gets taken away from them. As long as I act the way I want my kids to act they will do the same. They know right from wrong because I have taught them that. They know to respect others including their peers because I do the same in front of them. My kids know when it is time to stay away from the other kids. If they really start to get out of control they stop playing with them. Hope this was some help to you.
