There are a couple of local children who flit between nice (when they want something) and bloody horrible. My stance so far has been don’t play with them when they are being mean however it’s got to the stage where every other day these children are having to apologise for the same things so I’m at the stage of an out and out ban. Your not sorry if you keep repeating the same things they only say sorry when the other local children decide they have had enough and also won’t play so because they are lonely.
I’m not talking my mums bigger than yours im talking damanging other children’s stuff on purpose, name calling including swear words, telling children if you don’t do Y I will be mean to you and saying they will kill you as well as actual attacks. These are primary aged children not teenagers.
Their mum thinks this is nasty and horrible, I think I’m teaching my children that sorry means nothing if you keep repeating the same actions and that’s you don’t have to play with people who hurt you mentally or actually and break your stuff.
