really try to kick the seat

And no, I didn't say anything.

You should have said something about that kid kicking your seat, or ask to crew to say something. I have no problem at all asking a parent to keep their child from kicking the seat in front of them. I would not tolerate kids running up and down the aisle either. It's an airplane, not a playground.
