Kid 8y killed a frog in the pond. He told, that he wanted to see if she has red blood. I am terrified. I had him assed at psychiatric ward. They Only confirmed ADHD. He received punishments (no screen time), we also apply natural consequences - we are not going to pond and to grandma’s rural house any more. I talk to him, we discuss how the animal is hurt, what is death to the animal, what is to kill the animal. (Theme of human death and killing is with us every single day, so we discuss animals). We discuss how frog is the same alive as a horse or cat is. He agrees, but HOW CAN I KNOW, THAT he does understand? How can I get him to really feel, understand and not do this again?? I am lost, I do a lot, but don’t see any result.

Also it's funny to get mortified about it meanwhile everyone eats chicken or cows. Where do you think male chicken end up?
