[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1461391, member: 4362"] I would talk to their mom first and tell her your concerns about the girl's safety and tell her if she acts up again you are going to have to punish her if she doesn't straighten up. Without permission, you shouldn't lay a hand on the girl so you need to make her sit down in a time out spot. She won't like this if she is rambunctious but once she has sat there by herself I'd go sit with her and talk to her. Tell her your concern. The "because you might get hurt" isn't going to cut it either because in her mind she can't grasp this because she is invincible so you need to tell her a story about how her same actions got someone else hurt. This tale needs to arouse visual pictures in her mind because that is something she can understand. After you have finished telling the story ask her if she understands and tell her how you love her and it would kill you if that happened to her. In the end you have punished her ever so slightly but most importantly you taught her something and that is more valuable than bruises to her pride. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
