Hi, please could you share your pearls of wisdom.
My son has 2 detentions (not unusual) 1 for 'constant disruption in class' and a day in isolation for loudly saying 'f*king c*t' to his friend, in class. who my son said was annoying him. Needless to say, I was almost hiding behind the sofa, rocking repeating to myself; 'where did I go wrong?' I was going to take him to the cinema after school, but told him I wasn't going to after such bad behaviour. He moaned it wasn't fair being 'punished twice' [at school then at home by me]. Do you think I was right to refuse to take him to the cinema, and in effect punish him at home for his appalling behaviour, or do you think he has a point?
Also, when he is hungry he gets really angry. Obviously the thing to do is make sure he never gets too hungry. My question is, should 'hunger anger' ever be an excuse for rudeness/vileness? I tell him it is no excuse, but he says he can't control/help it because he needs food. What are your thoughts please?
