Good Job, I am glad you disciplined your kids, a lot of parents don't and have horrible kids. nice video by the way :) I am glad you asked his permission first too, Grade A Mom!
Aww . . . that was sweet of him to write what he did. I think you all did the right thing. At work, I constantly deal with kids who haven't learned their lesson. He seems to have learned his lesson. Everyone makes mistakes.
I think you did great and following through on the punishment is what needs to happen. I deal with SO MANY students and parents who think kids can do WHATEVER they want as long as they say sorry. I'm GLAD they apologize and feel bad, they SHOULD but that doesn't mean the action doesn't have consequences! Nice work mom!
I think you did wonderful. He obviously 'got it' that it was wrong what he did. And my youngest daughter does the same thing when she knows she did worng and sees mommie upset. She's written sorry notes and/or pics for me. That's the way I know she felt bad and saw me get upset and mostly hurt. It's a HUGE deal when the kids learn that their actions and words can hurt us and/or our feelings. Great Job!
When you say he hit you, was it a punch, a slap or what? As a mom of a 10 and 12 year old I have found that when we are both calm we talk about other options to hitting. Learning to express anger and frustration is healthy but it can't hurt others physically or verbally. It's ok to express yourself.
I think you did well and now that it's over you stick to your punishment and move on.
obviously i'm not a mom but i am a camp councelor and the way we deal with this at camp is pretty much the same way you did. a lecture, appologies must be made and a phone call home.
reading the other comments on here personally, i totally disagree with the whole writting 100 sentences thing because it gives writting in general a negative conotation also i think its not right to say to boys to not hit girls. no one should be hitting any one else regardless of gender, don't teach sexism :)
Agreed -- he got the lecture - no hitting ANYONE EVER and he got no tv and he had to write me an apology. He has not done it since and I don't think he will.
He should be lectured never to hit girls, but I am sure that you let him know this already. He seems like a sweet kid that made a mistake. If it is just an incident and not a pattern, I wouldn't worry too much about it. :) and NO t.v YOU MUST, MUST, MUST follow through!!! My mom never did and I was a BRATTY CAKE!
When Wally said something mean to a friend at school I made him write a sorry letter and give it to the boy. He has not been mean since. I think it gives the kid an opportunity to think of their mistake.
Well I thought you handled it in a good way. I'll leave it to the mothers here on youtube to give the advice..I would have no clue what to do if I had a child who did that..lol!
Am i allowed to say I liked this video? Well, I did. And I think the way you handled it...is how I would have. Make him echo his own wrong doing and repeat his punishment. Yes. Well done.
