[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 144883, member: 3413"] Am I the only one who thinks the school is making a huge deal out of this? I guess it depends on the context, but it sounds like the kind of talk I hear all the time, especially from little boys who are into weapons. I mean it's one thing if difficult child was making a serious plan, but I guess I don't think that this is so far off from what a typical 8-year-old might shout out in the middle of an imaginative game, or even in the heat of anger. I do think this should be taken seriously but unless you're getting a vibe that this involved actual intent, I'd be inclined to put it into the "she just didn't think before she spoke" category. As for the other parent, I'm the kind of mom who just goes up and talks to them. I'll seek out parents in the parking lot and say, "I'm difficult child's mom. I'm so sorry he called your daughter stupid," or "I'm difficult child's mom. I'm so sorry he shouted "penis" during the entire drive to after-care." I then explain that he has a "harder time than most kids" controlling the words that come out of his mouth, and assure them that we're "working on it" (I think this telegraphs therapy without having to say it) and that we'll continue to "work with him" about things like this.
