I totally relate to that. There has been teasing and bullying amongst kids all year, probably domino effect of what parents going through in this economy and may have more tension at home and need to let it out. whatever it may be, I agree she did overreact.
And she agreed as well per my earlier post. But I took it further and asked her why else does she think she did that.
"she said 'I was tired and I missed you and so all of it together my fist just had a reaction and acted out what I was feeling."
So yes, teasing happens, she has handled it well, better than most kids dealing with it. So she is aware she overreacted but also said why more than just being teased. So she checked in with herself beyond the outlaying reason.
That is good stuff so if I ground her, then it may impact her being so open about things. I guess i have to choose my battles more strategically than ever as she gets older.
But I am listening, hence my posting.
thanks much!
