The Box
So Little Man had a rough Kindergarten year with some methods of punishment we were not all together happy with. "The Box" being one of these. Well, Little Man has been "scaring" Lady Jane with "the box". I wish I could go back to those stressful times and stand up to the administration and the teacher and say hell no to the box. Little Man is an odd case but to have permanently marked in his brain that not "getting" the rules means you end up in a box* really sucks.
*The box was a desk surrounded by walls to keep him from distracting other students. Not unlike a cubicle.
Still if I were a stay at home mom at the time, I feel we could have dealt with the situation better. Who knew that three years later we would be easing the fears of his younger sibling with regards to "the box". She's also worried that she won't make any friends and especially a friend like F (England).
