[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would most certainly give an at-home punishment as I want my children to know that I am on the same page as their teacher and that misbehavior in school is wholly unacceptable in our family.

I would also be having my child apologize to the teacher the following day and would work with them to write an apology letter to the other child. [/quote]

That teaches your kid that you don't approve, but it does nothing to help teach them HOW to regulate their emotions and behaviors.[/quote]

The two aren't mutually exclusive.  You can discipline your child AND teach them how to deal with emotions by talking through how they might handle it differently next time.  My 4 year old has to write letters of apology and also has a consequence at home if I feel like they were truly misbehaving.  It depends on the situation and the teacher.  Usually DC's teacher gives a few warnings.  If I get a call home, I know that DC was flat out disobeying.[/quote]
