You are handling things perfectly, just by not giving in to him. THe neighbor
has never had to handle a child or anyone else with a problem. And I hate
to tell them, but if they had done the black and blue thing they would probably have gotten child protective called on them now days.

I believe that you are handling things the best each time you can. And
I think if he has done good, and it makes it worse then just say things
have been okay. If not then say its been bad. Till he seems to want
to be given the good words.

Don't worry about what works for others.

I believe you know your child.
