Ds in reception. He's generally a good boy, prone to overexcitement as normal. We've had a bit of back chat recently and behaviour that's not brilliant, and it's got a bit worse since returning to school.
He's made friends with a boy who seems nice but even more hyper than ds. I think they both get positives out of their friendship. However, this boy does quite a lot of stuff that I would pull my own ds up on if he did the same.
Today we were walking back from school and this boy started pulling some berries off a bush a chucking some around, some at other ds (3yo). Minor really, but I brought it up with ds later and said that when you have friends it's important to know that if they do things they shouldn't that he knows not to get involved. Just general stuff about knowing when to walk away and being responsible for his own behaviour etc.
It was a pretty general chat but now feel guilty for ever bringing it up. Aibu?
