[quote=Anonymous]Last year a child told my second grader that he hoped she died and they would all have a parade to celebrate that she was gone. She was devastated. Now I know why kids feel comfortable saying those things to their peers-- apparently they are not getting corrected at home. I am shocked by the responses that say "ignore it." That is not something you ignore. It is rude and unkind. You don't "win" by showing the kid that they didn't get a rise out of you. Actually you have lost, because you have missed the opportunity to teach your child that words matter, and that being intentionally hurtful is not something that is accepted in your family.[/quote]
