[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 432761, member: 805"] I think your advice to Duckie was spot on. Apologize and watch out in the future! I don't believe Allen's suggestion of a small gift is really appropriate in this instance. In regards to the teacher, let it go. Remember that you are also hearing it from Duckie's perspective. I'm not saying she is not telling the truth, just the truth as she felt and heard it. And, there is a pretty good chance that the teacher will do nothing further. But if she does, Duckie will see that she needs to speak up for herself and tell her side. The bottom line is that Duckie is the one who spilled. Certainly the other girl drew her into it but it was still her who told the secret. She will have to "live and learn" with this one. Trust me TM, if you go in to talk to the teacher and fight this battle, you will be doing more harm to Duckie's ability to problem solve in the future. She will learn more about being an advocate for herself by what living her mistakes than by you making it right. With understanding, Sharon [/QUOTE]
