[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I am trying to find out what instigated the behavior because it IS out of character for him and I think a good parent should try to find out why her child suddenly starts lashing out at people. [/quote]

[b]Then ask him, for God sakes![/b]  He is at least six, probably 7 at this point.  Don't you speak with your own kid?  And you [u]are[/u] minimizing what he did - you said that the "mud-throwing is more believable,"  implying that you don't believe he engaged in the other actions.  I don't know why you find it so hard to believe things occurred as the teacher told you.  My [b]son is in 1st grade (still 6) and generally a laid back, well behaved kid[/b], but he got into some random argument with our neighbor's child and threw a bike at him.  [b]DS was overtired and cranky and the kid was teasing him by saying that DS's female friend was a "girlfriend," so there are REASONS for DS's behavior[/b], but in my view, there is no EXCUSE for DS's behavior.

Do you seriously think I didn't ask my son what precipitated the behavior? Of course I did. And as you accuse me of minimizing what my son did, which I am not and have said that it is unacceptable and that he has had consequences for it, you did exactly the same thing about what your kid did. Kids do things that are out of character sometimes. While we will not tolerate this sort of behavior from our kids, if they suddenly start doing something unexpected in this way we are certainly going to try to figure out why. [/quote]
