Q:
What's an appropriate punishment for a first grader?
My son is 6 years old. He is having issues with hitting at school. This is something new, he was never the type to hit other children. We are at the same time beginning therapy for his anxiety but due to the amount of referrals received by the office they will not be able to see him for a few more weeks. On Friday I received an email from his teacher and then a phone call from the principal letting me know that my son had punched another kid on the bus. While slightly provoked my son knows better than to hit. The other kid thought my son was trying to butt in line and would not allow him to get in front of him. After losing all of his video games privileges and not going down the shore he seemed remorseful. Then today at school he punched another student because the kid accidentally kicked him while doing a cartwheel. How do I punish my child?? I told him no TV, toys, or video games for a week. He is allowed school work and books. Is this to harsh?
