I am glad the teacher handled it. I learned a long time ago that what your child does is not always refelecfive of your parenting. Trust me! Especially, if it is normal behavior for their age. In this case, this would be in the realm of normal. He is still trying to figure out how to handle situations. He still needs teachers and parents for guidance on how to handle difficult situations. He is only eight! Great learning for when he becomes an adult. I would let the teacher handle it since she was there and talk to him about the situation. Maybe talk through some ways on how to handle a situation like that next time. To me, it is how parents react to their child's behavior that is more reflective of their parenting verse a child's behavior. If it continues to be an issue, then I would call a teacher/parent meeting.
My youngest (who is eight as well) is the less cautious one of my kids and more willing to take risk. She is also my tough one and does not like to show weakness. Again, a good trait but still needs a lot of guidance on how to handle certain situations.
You are a good mom! You are present, aware of what is going on and asking questions.
