Something like, "you really seem to be careful around the little ones. You must be a big brother..." The kids also seem more careful after you say that and no parent will be angry at you for complimenting their kid. at the playground, i found the best way to get other kids to be careful is to proactively compliment.

I often find myself in an opposite situation at the play ground my daughter is a little over one so I will help her go down the slides and walk across the bridges but the older kids will cut us in line or start climbing up the slide when we are about to go down or while she is standing on the grass run by and knock her down I try not to day more then, look out buddy or please wait your turn how much censure can you give a random child at the park who is just being a normal kid and not paying attention?
