My 12 year old son was furiously texting last week after school so I asked him about it and it turns out that he'd had a petty argument with a friend. I suggested that he turned off the phone for an hour or two so he could calm down because texting for ages could make things worse. He turned it off.
An hour or so later I get a text from his mum (who I've never met) asking why my son wasn't answering his phone and forgiving her son. I told her the advice Id given my son and that I left him to sort out petty arguments himself. She was surprised and my relaxed attitude but I think it's normal.
What do you guys think? After an hour or so both boys ended up apologizing and sorting things out.

To think that 12 year olds can sort out their own petty arguments?
