Get BOTH sides of the story. Explain "Hitting is Hurting" and move on!

At school?

a bit un-pc but did other child deserve it?

superdrug · 24/02/2009 13:26

I don't know what happened. He doesn't seem to know why he did it either. School called me and I spoke to him.

Would also make a big point that you don't hit anybody but you definitley don't hit girls.

Nightcrawly · 25/02/2009 19:32

I'd disagree Twims. You definately don't hit anybody.

All of the above

Maybe get DC to write her a letter to say sorry (also lets the parents know you are taking it seriously)

Oh, and if it turns out she did something to your dc that made him/her angry, that you listen to your DC, let DC express the anger, then tell DC hitting is not the answer.
