No Mother wants her kid to come in and tell her the neighbor kids are not allowed to play him until you go talk to kids parents. Conner apparently one day got into a fight with one of the neighbor kids and jumped on top of him and started either choking him ( as the neighbor reported) or pulling his ears ( which is conner's story) neither of which is a good thing. Conner has always had trouble controlling his temper. He has the sweetest heart but if you get him mad watch out. We have been dealing with this at home by sending him to his room until he calms himself down and comes out. This has been working great. He knows when he is ready to return to life and be kind again. He usually comes out and gives hugs and smiles and says he is sorry. Big Lesson learned for Conner you can not act out in anger physically towards your friends. Conner sat with Scott as he spoke with the parents and Conner apologized and felt very bad. This was 6 weeks ago and he has been better than ever since this incident. It was hard for both of us to go through but taught valuable lessons!
On a brighter note. This week Conner was invited to a marble party organized by a child in his class. Ari has a handicapped mother and they have no money ect. Conner kept telling us all week how important it was that he go to this party because Ari didn't have many friends and he didn't want him to be sad. Even though it was terribly cold and raining Conner insisted on going to the park that day and meeting Ari. Ari and Conner were the only two kids that showed up. I was proud of Conner for caring so much about someone elses feelings! Maybe I'm not failing him after all.
