(HBOT 160) - First Fight at School

Today was the last day of HBOT. We completed 160 hours. Amazing. I need a break. Over two months of getting home at 9pm was getting old. He did well during all the dives. I noticed some subtle improvements, but I expect some more a few weeks after the sessions are over.

Today he had his first fight with another kid at school. It wasn't his fault and the teacher was extremely apologetic. But it was a new experience. He decided to join a couple of classmates during recess for play. The game was about super heros and one of the kids told Jonathan to be the bad guy. Jonathan refused and the kid got mad at him and hit him in the mouth with his head. Jonathan was taken to the school clinic and treated while the other kid was taken to the principal's office and his mom was called in. School called me too to let me know that he was in the clinic but I didn't get any more details. Jonathan was upset about it when he got home. During the HBOT he told me what happened and I told him that it was probably an accident and he said "no mommy, it was not an accident, the boy really wanted to hit me". When I got home, I read a note from the teacher and called her at her house. She explained what happened and apologized. I feel bad for Jonathan that this happened, but it is all normal stuff and that made me very happy. Kids fight all the time. Although I don't agree with the boy's tactics, I love the fact that Jonathan went to play, did not agree with the rules and expressed himself. Perhaps next time he will defend himself.
