[quote=Anonymous] When my son was 7, one of his friends punched him. The mom handled it well (called me, gave son a consequence). My son once hurt a friend over some mean words that friend said. I called the mom and made son apologize and he had a big consequence at home as well as a lot of talk about how to deal with anger etc. they’re all entering middle school this year and still friends. I don’t think once incident is enough to cut someone off unless you think that the parents are encouraging that behavior or you truly fear for your child’s physical or mental health. I think it’s important for them to learn that 1) people make mistakes 2) you can forgive someone for not being perfect 3) you will never be perfect 4) maybe you will need to be forgiven At some point. Your son doesn’t have to hang out with kids who hurt him repeatedly, but if this kid wants to be friends, let them. Just stay close by to make sure your son is being treated properly.[/quote]
