Questions
Everything you need to know.
What if my child refuses to talk or says 'I don't know'?
The script includes a response: 'It's okay to not know right now. Let's sit quietly for a minute. When you're ready, I'm here.' Give them space but don't drop it completely.
Should I punish my child if they were defending themselves?
Focus on teaching de‑escalation, not punishment. You can say: 'I understand you were defending yourself. Next time, what could you do before it turns into a fight?' (walk away, tell an adult).
What if the school punished my child unfairly?
The letter template includes a request for a meeting to discuss the incident and any bias. Stay calm and professional – you're more likely to be heard.
How do I handle the other child's parents?
Unless you're close, avoid direct contact. Let the school mediate. If you must talk, keep it brief and focused on solutions, not blame.
What if this isn't the first fight?
This guide is for first incidents. If fighting is repeated, consider professional help (counselling, anger management) and speak with the school about a behaviour plan.
