Hi all! I would like some advice regarding the above. My son 8yrs old was at school on Friday and hit a girl in the face and stomach. He bruised her face as a result. I had a call from the Headteacher notifying me what had happened and I was in complete shock. He has never been like this before!
I picked up my son early from school because I didn't want confrontation from the girls mother before I knew all the facts. I have spoken to my son and after a lot of minimising he admitted he did it on purpose in anger. However I just do not understand why, even in anger, he thought he could do this! He does have some behavioral and educational issues which are being investigated by an ed psych and support worker. It has been suggested he may be on the spectrum for autism but this has not been diagnosed.
He apologised to the girl on Friday and wrote her a letter of apology which she accepted. My question is, should I approach the girls mother in the playground on Monday? I plan is to do this and apologise for my sons behaviour which is out of character for him but totally unacceptable. I plan is to also have my son apologise to the lady too. Should I do this or just wait to see if she approaches me?
Your advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks
