A few weeks ago I was reminding the kids that it is not okay to hit anyone. They pointed out that it was allowed if someone was trying to kidnap them. Yes, I conceded, then hitting and yelling and kicking were all acceptable. That's when Sophie mentioned her friend Gemma, who is smaller than Sophie and a year and a half her senior.
"But if Gemma tried to kidnap me I wouldn't punch her in the face, because I think that would ruin our friendship."
I think several aspects of that scenario would do harm to a friendship, but I'm glad she's trying to think through the consequences of her actions.
