[QUOTE="Malika, post: 558042, member: 11227"] Thanks for your input - helps me put it in perspective and see that J isn't unique in his wild impulsivity... He went off by himself this morning to say "pardon" to the brothers and ask them to come and examine the damage... one of the brothers duly came up, didn't seem very shocked or surprised, said he would put a board up to protect the shed (which he's now done) and we agreed I would ask the handyman in the village to replace the glass. Definitely the other boy didn't stop him, and indeed encouraged him (maybe also told him to do it, I don't know - but J wouldn't need much persuading), because of his problems. I can guarantee that any other 9 year old in the village would have stopped J and would have come to tell me or another adult... they're just like that here. As for the money... the other boy's mother seemed to take the view that it was J's hyperactivity that was at the base of all, though not in an accusing way, and I guess I don't want to fight about it. But I will see how much the repairs cost first :) [/QUOTE]
