What consequences for pulling trousers down?

DC placing in communal garden (potentially in view of school sports field). Neighbours kids 10, 6, 3, all girls. DD (8) pulls down DS (10)'s trousers and pants.
Consequences?

Very severe consequences
And a very stern talking to

Totally inappropriate.

I would struggle not to go batshit tbh

A telling off and an explanation of why it's wrong. No need to go batshit.

Yes I would be furious in this situation, I had my trousers pulled down at a similar age and I still feel embarrassed! Make sure she knows never to do that again definitely!

How would she like it if someone did it to her?

There would be no sweets, treats or screens for a week In this house. Plus the mother of all lectures. If she gets pocket money I’d be tempted to give it to your DS for a few weeks too.

Hopefully a moment of madness on her part. Definitely talk to her about why it was totally inappropriate and not funny. As for consequences, I would suggest she isn't mature enough to play outside without an adult for a bit, a week maybe. If that means she can't play outside then so be it.

Interesting first day post

ElephantGlove · 11/06/2020 19:13

Except it's not. But thanks for your concern.

She's had a stern talking to and been asked how she would feel. I made her clear up all our outdoor toys rather than both of them. She definitely knows it was wrong but hasn't said why she did it. Usually they get on ok and all the neighbouring children too.
DH has said she's to go to bed alone and I definitely won't be letting her out alone for a few days. I was wondering if I was under-reacting.
