Y3K Tutor In Your Home Golden Rule for Living: Fight Prevention

Posted by admin in responsibility , parenting , inspiration , fighting

Y3K Tutor In Your Home Golden Rule for Living: If you hurt someone accidentally, let them know it was an accident and apologize.

Most fights occur because this rule is not followed. Kids often fight others because they think that the other kid is attacking them. The reality often times is the "attacker" accidentally hurt the "victim" and never acknowledged that it was accidental. The "victim" then retaliates and attacks the "attacker". The "attacker" then feels that they are being attacked. At this point major fights can occur. The simple solution is to recognize a mistake happened and apologize for it.
