[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Truly curious - for those that think the 12 yo should not suffer consequences for hitting an adult twice, what will you say when that child hits another child who retaliates in kind and possibly hurts the offender?  I have known children that don't start it but have no problem finishing when attacked.  Is the child that defends herself problematic and should be punished?  Is it ok that the offending dc finally faces the natural consequences of their violent behavior? [/quote]
It’s not about the consequences. Of course he should receive consequences.
But the more complicated piece of the equation is how to redo things so that his life is managed better and that things are more reasonable and suitable for him. You can’t just put someone in an impossible situation and then acted shocked and horrified when someone reacts badly.[/quote]

And how to teach him the skills of frustration tolerance, flexibility and emotional regulation that most kids learn naturally but ASD and ADHD kids often do not. You can’t expect someone to do something they don’t know how to do.[/quote]
