Ten to Eleven YearsSocial Issues, cont

At the 5th grade end of the year party, P is horsing around with another student

The other boy gets suddenly furious and tackles P to the ground

Parents intervene, gently. The other boy flees the party and cannot be found

P is inconsolable, feels it is *his* fault
- This child is eventually found, safe
- The issue had *nothing* to do with P or the way the boys were playing
- It is a huge learning experience for P to realize that *ALL* children can struggle with emotions, even if they look ‘cool’ on the outside
