DS1 in trouble at school - help me deal with it please

[niceglasses]

DS1 is 7 and in Y2. Found out this morning that he had been sent to Head yesterday pm with another boy for making a noose out of rope and putting it round a younger Y1 boy!

I feel so ashamed and so angry with him - he didn't even tell me and I always ask how his day went. God, it could have been so awful.

He hasn't really been in trouble before (tho I'm starting to wonder now if I just don't know about it). How should I deal with it? I couldn't help saying to him before I went that I knew and I'd see him after schl.

It sounds pathetic, but my lovely Grandad died last week and although I'm okay, this has made me really weepy and feeling like I can't cope.

Have I raised a monster somehow?

Yes, I think I got it slightly out of perspective yesterday - maybe just everything else going on.

I think, I hope, hes learnt his lesson.

And many thanks for all replies.

I presume the school informed you?I think it is pure experimentation.I think children don't understand the full implications of their actions, and I think this is one of those times. I think you should just sit your son down try and remain calm so he will want to stay and listen, and just explain to him the dangers of his actions.and perhaps ask him to think how he would feel if that was done to him! Goodluck and I am sure you haven't raised a monster!when I think what my older brother used to inflict on me when we were growing up and he is the nicest gentlest man you could meet now!

You haven't raised a monster-he is just a little boy who didn't realise the dangers. You just need to speak to him calmly, I expect that he has learnt a lesson from it.I think he ought to apologise to the yr 1 child.
