[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't stress too much about it yet. Stay calm with him (my kids know that the quieter I get with them, the more they're in trouble.) Six year olds are testing to see where the boundaries are. Repeat the consequence from before, but add some more time. So if he lost screen time for 3 days, now it's 5 days. When you talk to him, no need for a lecture or to "process" it. He knows what's he did was wrong. Just give him the consequences. "I'm sorry you chose to be hurtful and mean to others. That's not what this family is about. First you're going to make a card to apologize to the student on the bus. Second, you've lost all screen time for 7 days and will not be attending Jimmy's party. When you choose to be mean, you lose the privilege of doing things you enjoy. I'm confident you fix this and make kinder choices. Go upstairs. I'll call you when dinner is ready."[/quote]
