[quote=Anonymous]Just because she saw the kids crying and didn’t turn herself in doesn’t mean she didn’t feel bad. She just felt more scared of getting in trouble. Kids internalize what adults think about them. So if you think and treat her like a sociopath before you know she is; she’s going to assume she’s a bad kid and —do bad things. My kid went through a phase where he made bad choices. About a year of intermittent stupidity. I freaked out thinking he would be some crazy sociopath in the future, but someone advised me to address the choices and not label the behaviors as bad. His school did the same and he’s a super good kid, well-behaved and kind to others. Don’t treat her like a criminal. Address the situation of course, get her help if she needs it, but she’s only 6! Relax and remind her that she’s a good kid and has to make good choices.[/quote]
