I was at a birthday party recently and there was a child running around with no shoes and socks in the muddy field. And then he would hop on to the bouncy castle and bring all the dirt in for all the children. to breathe and fall on the owner of the castle as the boy to please put his shoes on when not in a castle, the boy ignored him.

Then another mother asked him to put shoes on when getting off the bouncy castle. He looked at her and just ran off. Then I told him if you would like to go to your friends over there, you will have to put your shoes on firmly, calmly without raising my voice. Kid looked at me out of the corner of his eye, as if saying, make me and started for his friends while I stood there with his shoes in my hands. I know what I would have done with my child, but he wasn't my child. And it was a party that I wasn't going to ruin for everyone over this.
