tomorrow as he has been asked not to return to camp for the day. Last Wednesday when he was at a water park he had problems and the same thing today.
Today he punched another child he felt was ignoring him. The other kid punched back and difficult child used some inappropriate language. According to the camp counselor difficult child threw the first punch, in difficult child's version the other boy did. He did say he tapped the guy first trying to get his attention. Long and short of it, who threw the first punch doesn't matter. difficult child has to learn it's not acceptable.
Of course, it throws a wrench in husband's and my plans for tomorrow. I'm not really sure how to handle him tomorrow. We usually let consequences at school and camp be dealt with there but I also don't want him to enjoy being home too much, Know what I mean??
I guess in some ways with all the camps he has been at this summer, and all of his issues, it's amazing this is the first time he has been asked to stay home. Still, it's a disappointment.
