What would you do if...?
Answer:
good question. after a long talk i would probably make him voulenteer helping the handicapped in the community, maybe in the school. if he gets to know then and sees how they're treated by others with no respect than it may teach him to have empathy
A good slapping!!
I would find some place he could do community service for the mentally challenged. Hopefully he might appreciate those who are different from him.
I don't know the best punishment, but I would want to teach him a lesson, not just punish him. Maybe have him work in the special ed class at school for a week so he can put faces to the illness.
If I EVER caught one of my kids doing this, I would kick their @ss! I think you should go talk to this child's parents, if it were my child I would want to know.
i would make my child sit down with a big book on disablites and have him read for a few hours on it and then make him write a story on how its not acceptable, and how he would feel if he had someone do that to him or to a loved one
my son would be grounded for life and i would make him go over and apologize and as punishment he would have to spend time with the mentally challeged kid. they have feelings too. embarrassment works wonders
I would definitely let my neighbor know what I saw. I think I would make my son go and apologize to the child he was harrasing and I would ground him from his favorite thing for atleast one week.
I would really really hope that I had raised my child with enough sensitivity not to do something like what you have described.
That said, this child's behavior likely resulted from one of two things, pure meanness, or a little meanness mixed with not understanding down's syndrome.
Figure out a way for the abusive child to spend a day (with adult supervision of course!) with a developmentally disabled child, either in a school or daycare setting or with the child down the street. Hopefully the abusive child will be able to see the day-to-day struggles the disabled child deals with and that alone would be enough to cause shame for his bad behavior.
i would sit my child down and talk to him and let him know that that is mean and just explane to him why he shouldnt be making fun of anyone in general!
Or ELSE, lol jk! lol
:o)
take that kids to a mental health hospital and let him visit and see how those people are. and talk to him and let him know that those people have feelings to and don't like it when someone pick on them. and let him know that one day something can happen to him and he can be like the same people that he is picking on.
If your son was doing this, I would seriously sit down and talk to him about the affect he is having on the other boy and what others are thinking about, what bad behavior that is. If your son saw this other boy doing it I would still talk with him. As for punishment the time must fit the crime, I would probably take something away from him that he really enjoys, for example if he likes to play video games, take them away for a few days. First offense. Second offense you would have to be more stern.
Well frist i would talk to them and see how they would feel if they were that person. And be thankfull that he dosnt have that disability. I would also tell that other persons mom what you saw. They dont have any resion to be mean expecally if they are disabled and they need know that that person cant help that they are dissabled.
I would ask my child how he would feel if someone were picking on him, and tell him that making fun of people is not right--especially people with disabilities. You don't always have to punish your child.
We go to church, and when I caught one of the sunday school children making fun of a little girl because she is chinese (she's adopted), I told him that God teaches us that we are supposed to love everyone, even if they are different than we are. You might not want to go that route, but as far as I know, that incident hasn't happened again.
its bullying and by just watching it, its cheering it on. we have commercials in Canada that describe that exact thing and how to speak out against it, what a good way to use media. anyways if i were to see this i would go up to them and take that kid to his mother and embarrass the crap out of him, maybe he might think twice next time on being so ignorant.
i would tell my child that they were grounded.
oh, i get it; you mean AFTER i killed him?
1. the rest of the school year in the 'challenged' class
2. everyday after school until one hour before bed he would be doing community service with the mentally challenged
3. for 1/2 of that hour he would be praying for forgiveness to GOD and to me.
4. every weekend from wake to bed he would be with the mentally challenged.
5. he would be living the life of a mentally challenged person.
if he wasn't my kid i would go slap him upside his head! so he could feel it for the next week. then take him to his mama and tell her what i saw and what i did.
and i would FULLY EXPECT the same from you if you caught my kid doing it.
My kids and I actually saw another kid doing this once. I talked to them about it, and asked them how they would feel if somebody was teasing them about something they could not change. They agreed they would not like it at all. My kids have an understanding for things in their own special way. My daughter told me..."God makes everyone, and if we tease someone for the way God made them, then that makes God sad too." Ahhhh the mind of a child...ya gotta love it!!
