problem at disco

[allcriedout1]

Ds aged 6 was at a disco where he had pocket money to buy sweets etc. (ist time) When there admitted that he spent some of the money on an item which he was persuaded to sell by an older child for much less money.
We are talking about only a small amount of money so I will probably let it go after explaining to ds that this was not a nice thing for the older child to do.

Would you let it go or would yuo have a word with the other mum?

How much older was the child?

If a year or so I would consider it a harsh lesson learned! Make sure I used it to teach my child, but let it go. If the other child was several years older I would talk to the parent.

If you know the other mum then I probably would have a word just in case there's been a misunderstanding. If it is a much older child who's mum you don't know maybe you could sound out your childs's teacher just in case you're likely to get a less than positive response.

I wouldnt bother talking to the other Mum. I would however tell my son about blindly doing what older kids tell him to do! My ds2 gave away 90% of his gogo's to some of ds1's friends...I managed to get them all back but he learnt a lesson from it

Round about two years older.
