Justification Is Just A Small Part Of It

For the first time ever, KA, kicked his tutor when he had that meltdown at school a week ago. Today in the car we told him that he needed to write that apology letter to her that he has been procrastinating about writing.

KA: Mom, it would be in HER best interest for me not to write the letter.

Me: Why is that, KA?

KA: "Wouldn't that just be confusing to her for me to write a letter like that after I already apologized in person?"

Yep, nice of you to be so concerned about her welfare son. Too bad you were not when you kicked her.

MeltDown Doesn't Mean a Grilled Cheese

Three meltdowns in three weeks at school...another today. Trying to manipulate and control....KA no longer has any books in his room and will eat a PB&J for dinner and will have to earn his books back. He has been sitting in the car for 1/2 hour because he refuses to come in. Should I take him a pillow and blanket? UUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
