[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 256873, member: 1233"] I am sorry. This kind of thing stinks. difficult child hit easy child with a screwdriver and could have done serious damage to him. It would problem set off most kids to go after the hitter. I know it got out of control, and I am sorry you got hurt. But sometimes it is the only way a easy child can get a difficult child to stop hurting them. It is always wrong to hit, but sometimes it can seem like the ONLY way to get someone to stop coming after you - physically or verbally. While they need consequences, difficult child also needs to be spoken with about how HE caused much of the problem and HE could have prevented it by NOT hitting ANYONE - esp not with tools or any other item. This is a tough situation, but maybe when they are calm it can be a teachable moment where you can role play with difficult child to see how HE would react if hit with a screwdriver. maybe it will help stop the fighting and the violence. You can hope anyway. I am sorry your day had to include this. [/QUOTE]
