[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be perfectly fine with a MS kid standing up for himself.  If a some kid intentionally knocked over the water bottle a couple times and my son said "stop it" after the first time, I'd have NO problem if he picked up the bottle, said "you really want some?" and squirted him in the face.  ITS WATER.  Honestly, if your middle school kid is going to run to teachers every time someone knocks over his water bottle, he will become a target more than ever.  What consequence to you think a teacher is going to give?  The kid will say it was an accident or maybe give some half-hearted apology.  Then once he's off school grounds, the behavior will likely escalate.  [/quote]

i appreciate your post, but i can't see DS doing this, even if i role played with him exactly that. that's just not him, and i'm fine with that. walking away is what he does best in such situation - which he also did this time. i haven't talked to him yet so i don't know if/why this incident bothered/upset him more than the other. i guess i'll suggest your solution to him too and see what he thinks.[/quote]
