I mentioned in a previous post that James, a boy in Rachel's class, gave her a quarter. Well, last Friday, I was talking to Sidney's mom, Nicole, while Rachel and Sidney were playing on the McKinley playground. Before I realized what was happening, Rachel started digging around in Sidney's purse -- apparently Sidney had offered to give her 25 cents if she'd push her.
"Rachel, let's not take money for pushing our friends on the swings," I called out. Nicole also told Sidney not to pay money to her friends.
Later that weekend, Drew and I had a stern talk with Rachel. She is not to accept any money from her friends, ever. Even if they offer her money, Drew told her, she has to say, "My Mom and Dad have a rule that I'm not allowed to take any money from you."
I hope this sticks.
