[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol at permanent record. I mean, I am sorry because I am sure that was traumatizing to be called into the office. But LOLOLOL at “permanent record.”[/quote]

Op here. I mean she’s 8 years old and was alone, and also, we had ALREADY told them she never had two tablets, and it all ended up being the school’s fault.

I should also mention that she has a developmental disability and is on an IEP and we are not native English speakers.[/quote]

Frame it as a learning experience to her.  A valuable one at that.  That:

1) People make mistakes, even adults

2) People say things they later regret

3) We should forgive

4) Forgiveness means we give 2nd chance, but not same as forgetting

5) Some people do steal, so she should watch her electronics[/quote]

6) don’t trust authority figures

[b]7) if you get called into the office demand they call you parents and refuse to talk[/b][/quote]

I think this is the key takeaway. If she gets called to the office or is ever in a situation where she feels even slightly uncomfortable, she can ask for her parents to be present. I feel this is something that’s drilled into rich kids but the rest of us keep trying to teach “independence.”
