Distraught. I got a phone call today from my son's principal telling me I needed to come pick him up from school. He got sent home for unzipping his pants and showing another child his privates. Apparantly a girl drew a picture of a boys private and my son, the class clown, thought it would be funny to show her. My son goes to a catholic private school and to be honest this going to mass 2 days out of the week is very abnormal for him. He has never been to church once in his life. IMy family and I are catholic and it is the best private school around. Since he has been going to school there I have atteneded mass with him during the school days and proudly him and I went this past Sunday. I have been trying to hold my head up high every day I drop him off at school. Not only am I a working mom and cant really be involved in the classroom and school as a lot of the other moms are but my hand is bare. I am a single mother. Maybe I am not outcasted, maybe it's my own insecurities. But today just set the tone for me. Not only am I emberassed that I had to go pick him up for a situation like this but I am emberassed for him. His friends will sure to go home and tell their parents why he got sent home today. They will all be banned from coming to his birthday party and playdates. Wouldn't I do the same if I was to hear something like that of another child? I dont know? I cant think anymore. I just feel like I failed again. I need to stay on top of him, make sure he listens and I follow through. But of course the fact that I live at home with my parents makes that hard to do. I just need some advise some uplifting..please..

My son made a simular mistake in first grade and was embarressed to. My son was 6 yrs. old when he showed his private parts to a girl. Kids at that age do not know it is wrong and not appropriate to do this. I explained to my son that he should not be showing his private parts to anyone ,that it was not appropriate behavior and not to do it again. He never did it again. Kids make mistakes. It is no big deal. I would not worry about it.
