I have 2 primary school aged kids who are football mad and are always playing in the garden. I try to male sure they are not too loud and never allow them out too early in the morning.
Im afraid sometimes balls get kicked over the neighbors fence though. They are very sorry when this happens and say they'll try not to do it again. The neighbor always throws the balls back into our garden.
Yesterday my kids asked if they could write thw neighbor a thank you note for always giving their bals back and apologising to them and give him an Easter Egg. I let them do it s I think its a nice thing and it shows they have empathy. I let my 8yo write the note and he rang the doorbell. Neighbor didnt come to the door so they left it on his doorstep.
