DS1 8yrs kicked my sister in the playground when I wasn't there. She says that she told him to go and get his lunchbox and he didn't want to. He says it wan't there when he look, she otld him he could see it from where she was standing. Anyway she carried on with the conversation and when she had finished DS went to walk away from her to find me in the infants playground (i always arrive in the juniors after I collect the little ones or they are allowed to come to the infants playground and find me) and in his words she said something mean to his back and so he kicked her
When I arrived in the playground neither one told me about it DS1 looked miserable so I asked him what was the matter (he had been off sick the day before with sickness) and he said his tummy had been aching all day so I said he should have got the teacher to phone me. By this time the lunchbox stand was nearly empty so he went and found his box and we went home, He has had quite a few incidents lately with children moving his box around and kicking etc, one box has already been broken, DS feels victismed by it and thinks that whoever does it is only doing to his one (I don't know if this is the case but intend on informing the teacher at parents evening tonight)
My sister has a DS of the same age and reguarly he has 'screaming tantrums' much like the terrible twos mainly imo because my sister winds him up and he doesn't know how to react. In the playground a week ago one of her younger boys was repeatly pushing and pinching my DD1 until DD was hiding behing my legs in the end she burst into tears when I looked at my sister she was shooting DD dirty looks.
Anyway back to the kicking incident I find about it because an hour after we are home my sister phones and tells me your ds1 kicked me in the playground to which I replied what did you do to him? I questioned him and he told me his version.
my immediate reaction was to make him phone an apologise to her but when I had thought about it for a moment I explained to him that he was wrong to kick people and if he felt like that again then to come and find me and I would sort it out and if I wasn't there to find a teacher. When I discussed it with DH later he said he was sick of her bulling our children.
Anyway she hasn't spoken to me since and I presume she is either waiting for him to apolgise or angry because I asked her what she had done.
He is normally a well behaved child, although from an early age she labelled him as a naughty child. My other sister noticed how DS1 behaviour changed when the first sister arrived the other day.
DS1 has been refered to Speech and lang therpy as he finds comunication difficult.
Anyway I don't want to fall out with my sister esp as we are moving away soon. Do I apolgise and get Ds to as well?
