I was this week approached by a parent of a little girl in the same reception class as ds who told me that my son had the day before been involved in an incident in the playground whereby my ds had hurt her dd (nothing major). She then said he had been told off and told to stand in the naughty corner (or whatever equivalent they have) I asked her dd what happened and then called my ds over and he briefly told me what happened I told my ds to apologise and of course reprimanded him for his actions. I did however as I stood there afterwards begin to feel very cross with this other woman and also strangely enough quite tearful. On my way home I thought more and more about what had happened and reaslised why I was getting upset was because I dont actually think I should have made my son apologise again or indeed have told him off again as this had obviously been dealt with by the school when the incident occurred. I would never approach another parent over such a minor playground incident and even if it was a major one feel a discussion with a teacher present would be the way to go. I find myself getting so wound up by situations relating to my ds I would love some advice from experienced mums.
