[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 573460, member: 1550"] Boys are allowed to roughhouse in this neck of the woods and they do. Nobody says anything unless they get hurt. Then they will say, "OK, boys, times to settle down." If somebody slugs somebody on purpose totally different story, but lots of play fighting and roughhousing at our school, boys AND girls and nobody makes an issue out of it. I think there are differences between US school districts. Out here, we expect boys to be more rambunctious and since this is a small town with no violence and little crime, nobody blinks an eye about it. In fact, often the kids do talk back to the teachers without much blowback. Once Jumper was told to go to the principal and she said, "No because it's not fair. I didn't do it." My Jumper defends herself among teachers and friends. She isn't disrespectful in tone, but she will refuse to listen to things she thinks are unfair. She is a leader at school and teachers and the pricipal love her. Way different cultures, I guess. Back to J... I honestly can not believe that in France they expect total submission to authority. Many children are wired to question authority. Some children are sometimes not always respectful. SO WHAT????? I mean, it's teachable...these are little kids. I think they take J's behavior too seriously there. I think he is most of the time acting like a normal little boy. It is common for children of the same energy levels to be attracted to each other. Honestly, if Sonic had been in France, they probably would have put the poor little boy in jail...lolol. He was SO hyperactive ALL the time at J's age that they would have been replacing their eyeballs in their sockets. He was not disrespectful, but he didn't always listen either. I still love your little J. He is not far out of the mainstream in my opinion and is just behaving as his body tells him. Gentle hugs. [/QUOTE]
