My DS was caught fighting for the second time. He is a quiet boy, non-physically in every way (apart from this). He has never physically fought with anyone else as far as I know (so has physically fought with this child twice). The other boy too is very quiet and placid. I don't know what went on yet but I do not find this acceptable and am seeking guidance for how to deal with it. I am not looking to place blame, as violence is not a solution ever, but I do know the other boy can be a bit domineering, but no more than any 6 year old, I think (E.g. "It's my boys club and I'm in charge and you must do what I say"). My DS takes himself very seriously, and will sulk whenever he feels someone is making fun of him. Last time he was caught fighting, I told him I would take away his Lego so intend to remove it for two weeks, no tablet time for two weeks, and I want him to write out six ways he deal with issues in the playground without fighting in the future. I also intend to hear what happened, but to make it clear fighting is not a solution for anything. Does this sound ok?
