Parenting a challenging kid. Am I doing this right?

I’m impressed with what he said about buildings, though. Not many 7 year olds would think along those lines.

I admit I would be angry that he threw water on a kid, and my inclination would probably be to punish my child. That’s one of the “buttons” I have, when they want to throw sand or hit or otherwise be agressive with another kid. I’m not saying I’m right (or wrong), it’s just how I would react emotionally.
