You have to let them fall down, you have to let them get back up by themselves, and you have to give them freedom to make their own decisions, even at 8 years old. If something is not "fair" then welcome to life my boy.

Glad you posted...actually another kid told the teacher just to fuel it all.
But you are right, let them fall, get up and give them freedom for decisions. which is exactly what happened.
she fell by lowering herself, but got up, admitted it and knows it was her freedom to choose who she was going to be in that moment.
May not have been right in that instance but she is aware it was the wrong decision.
so it all goes back to does she get grounded even though she has learned her lesson more than what a grounding would? that is where I'm at.
thanks for the input for sure though!
