[quote=Anonymous]you are correct that there is no get out of jail free card - for anyone in life - but special needs kids can have social delays and pick up cues slowly.  So, that is perhaps the focus that is good for neurotypical kids.  Ask them, well did you tell the other kids (a) that hurt my feelings, don't do it again, (2) walk away, (3) get a teacher....

All kids need help using positive protocal to deal with hurtful statements.  Kids with social delays may however need more help understanding the cues - that is why getting a teacher and articulating the issue is the important point - focus on the behavior when talking to your kid.  X made a poor choice, it is important to tell the kid how that choice made you feel, then walk away, redirect, get a teacher.....

The skill of articulating feeling and re-framing to have a focus on behavior is helpful for all kids.  No one likes being called out for poor choices - adults included.  But teaching your kid now how to articulate how someone's choice impacts them is a great life skill.  Heck i use those skills to manage 50 year old professionals who also don't always pick up social cues despite their big brains and kind hearts...LOL. [/quote]
