[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's zero chance that your kid changes the story and you aren't getting the whole pictures?  He's stubborn and digs his heels in, but somehow he's not telling these stories in a way that put him in perfect light, when that's not the whole truth?

I don’t think he’s telling the whole truth…he’s telling his story.  And he’s not cast in a positive light per say because he admits to teasing her at times along with other kids and admired he said orchestra was annoying.  He just wasn’t saying it TO her.[/quote]

Announcing on the bus, loud enough for kids who are in the orchestra to hear, that the orchestra sounded annoying isn't any less mean than telling someone in the orchestra that they sounded annoying.  Having a conversation insulting someone in their earshot is worse, in my opinion.  I would much rather that someone said something to my face.  [/quote]

Yeah, the orchestra thing isn't kind. You need to talk to your son about that.

Otherwise, let the boys stay friends, but not at their house. Only at your house. Instruct your child to say NOTHING to the sister. If she tries to talk to him on the bus, you can go over with him how to handle it.

There's no reason for the boys to end their friendship as long as your son can be trusted to stop talking to the sister. [/quote]
