Reporting to another Parent is good or not?

Question

If your kid does something bad along with one
of his friends (six year olds) and it is bad enough
that you punish your kid by not letting him go to
the ice capades (after several warnings), should you
call the other kid's parents to report what happened or
just forget about it. It's not like they murdered someone,
just kid stuff. But it seems like these days you should not
tell another parent their kid misbehaved or they get mad
at you.

Answer 1

I was always made to tell my parents that I did something wrong. You should tell the other child that he will have to tell his mother. When you are in her presence, tell her something like, "Johnny has something he needs to tell you." I do that with my step son. He has to tell his mom or dad what he did.

Answer 2

I know that lots of parents would take it totally wrong, or get upset about it. However, I would want to know if my kid is doing wrong. And if I was gonna get onto my kid for something, I would tell the parent of the other kid as well. I don't know how you feel about this, but when i got into a situation like this, i prayed about it before i went to the other mom. God always helps me with any situation I find myself in, even if we think it's silly. I would tell the mom if it's bad enough to punish your kid over. I wouldn't worry about it, you are just informing her on something and if she takes it wrong then it's on her. GOod luck and GOd Bless.

Answer 3

First, Inquisitor, you must not have kids.
I once took away going to the Circus because my five year old drew in sharpie all over his wall and when I warned him not to do it again, guess what later that day? Yep. Again. No circus. You'll see when you have kids. Some kid stuff is worthy of taking little trips away (called discipline).

Second. I like the idea of telling the kid to tell his parents and
if its important enough to you, be there to make sure he does,

Answer 4

Not telling the other parent could have dramatic consequences. Parents need to correct behavioral issues early on in order to make sure they don't develop into larger problems. If a child is misbehaing, the child's guardian should definately be aware of the issue.

Answer 5

properly as somebody else pronounced they are in all probability those procuring each little thing, so it is their determination. That being pronounced, i'd think of that the applicable thank you to persuade them which you're arranged is to take innovations-blowing care of the pets you have now, and then purely consult with them and enable them to renowned which you will get excitement from yet another dogs. possibly element out that dogs can play at the same time in a manner that human beings and dogs can no longer play at the same time (the snarling and wrestling around), so everybody reward from yet another dogs.

Answer 6

If YOU feel that the behavoir is bad enough that it warrants his/her parents knowing about it...Absolutely...Kids nowadays get away with FAR too much, That is exactly the reason why there are so many Young offenders roaming the streets....They KNOW they can't be touched....It's time for Our Governments to grow a set of balls and clamp down on this!

Answer 7

Taking away the ice capades is way to harsh on a 6 year old just doing kid stuff.

Several warnings? You are not coming across clearly to your child. He isn't sure if you're serious or not. Be more consistant.

Answer 8

I think as a parent it is your responsibility to tell the other parent, even if it was something small. The kid has to learn that even though his parents were not there to wittness what he did, he still needs to know they will find out...its part of life.

Answer 9

being a kid(teen) that really makes me mad when a parent of a friend rats you but if i really screwed up i realize that it was probably in my best intrest that they found out, but if its something minor then its not worth the trouble especially when they are six. i mean what could they have done that was bad enough to tell there parents, they probably already learned there lesson anyways.

Answer 10

I would be telling the other childs parents of the incident. My kids do not play with too many children whom we do not know the parents too. My children are always supervised at this time since I believe they are too young not to be.
