My 9 yr old son has had some problems when it comes to behaving in school and on the bus. i have been discplining him for those behaviors. however he got in a fight another little boy hit my son and he hit back after the boy hit him. i allowed him to get on the computer for a little while. they feel that i am saying it is ok to act like that but i only allowed him to after he cleaned the bathroom,his room and helped with my room. he was also in trouble that same day for not listening to his teacher or the bus driver the same day of the fight. what would you do as a mother. did i do enough or am i beeing to light on him. thanks in advance

My five year old looses his computer for a lot less than that. I think you can choose how you punish your own kid and it really does not matter what the rest of us think. Kids need rules and consistent consequences. For me personally there would be harsher punishments if my son did that, whether he was hit first or not. Especially if he had on going behavioral issues.

First of all, this is your child NOT your parents. Second of all, if you can sit down with the school and discuss the behavioral problems that you are having, they can offer some suggestions. I know how hard it can be. My son acts like an angel at school, and is honestly a pretty good kid....but when he is out of school, he can raise hell. I talked with the school, cause for me it was an authority issue. He thinks since he is at school all the time, that they are the only ones he needs to listen to. I have been having great success implementing the tools they gave me. Good luck.
