He was playing with her. I am so frustrated!! I dont even know what to say to him. I just listen. Is that disrectful? Thanks for listening!
It isn't nice to play with your food, said the Momma Cat to the kitten...
but our kids will do it if there isn't anything else to do --- no wonder she hates him! Still he is a child, and it isn't his responsibility to refrain from doing what comes so easily. He is exploring and she isn't setting limits. A gradeskip to the next older grade might be a fitting 'punishment.' Sometimes kids like this end up at community college until they grow up enough to go off to college. I worry about his grades being low - it would be good to get to the bottom of that. Maybe new school would solve the problem, but I would be very upfront about what his habits are so far. Does he do his homework?
If anyone else knows how to actually fix the 'playing with your food' problem - I'm all ears! Problem is that they start to look so grown up, and it's harder to pass them off as 'just kidding.'
Love and More Love,
