so I drop my son off to school this morning and it’s a parent with her son standing outside. I see this parent l every morning she’s pretty cool her son and my son do speak. Her child is in first grade my Child is in kindergarten.
My son was wearing a Bluey sweater and the child proceeds to say Bluey is for girls. “Bluey is for babies. He hates Bluey. He hates Bluey”
The mother was doing the right thing and was telling her child to stop saying those things. He wouldnt stop saying “bluey is for babies I hate bluey, you’re a baby if you like bluey”
It went on for about 10 mins of him saying that. While yes the mother was doing the right thing trying to correct her child, it went on for so long that I noticed my son looking a little uncomfortable.
So my question is would you as the mother have said anything?

You stated multiple times that the mother was doing the right thing by trying to redirect her child, I would have not said anything because the other mom was doing what she need it to do. At this point it will be more of a conversation with your child, say this morning I noticed you were a bit uncomfortable with what so so said about Bluey, tell me how that made you feel? Depending on his response then you can say so so can think what he wants, however you are allowed to like w.e you like, reinforce to him than is ok to like what others don't and vice versa.
