[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 27139, member: 2423"] Jamie, I would call the counselor, tell him what happened and ask for some advice on how to resolve the issue. You don't want this run-in to escalate on either side, and given that they're both difficult children, it certainly has the potential to do that. We had a similar situation a few weeks back with difficult child 1. He and a group of boys were horsing around and tossing grapes at each other during a dinner break from play rehearsal. difficult child 1 hit a boy (I'll call him J) with a grape (not hard -- in fun), and J kicked difficult child 1 twice in the shin and punched him in the face (no adults saw the altercation, but I sure wish they had). difficult child 1 was ashamed of himself for not fighting back, and when he talked to husband (I was not present), husband advised him to defend himself the next time. Five days later, J started taunting difficult child 1 with a derogatory name, and difficult child 1 shoved J. J retaliated by shoving his sneakers into difficult child 1's face. difficult child 1 ended up with a fat lip and a nasty cut inside his mouth. At this point, the school got involved, but I so wish husband had brought it to the school's attention after the first incident so we could have avoided the second incident. Needless to say, difficult child 1 was stunned by J's reaction and very down on himself for days afterward. I hope you can nip your incident in the bud. Please let us know what happens. [/QUOTE]
