DD is worried about her (just) 4yr old's lack of empathy with other children.
He caused an accident to another child by driving his bike at the other child, and even when it was obvious by the amount of blood that it could have been serious - he carried on and had to be forcibly removed from the bike. He showed no concern whatever and although he repeatedly said sorry on the way home, it was obvious that that was because he knew he was in trouble, rather than really being sorry. Is he too young to have empathy with others and to realise the serious nature of what he did and the sheer unkindness of not caring? It is not the first time he has behaved like this and DD is really worried.
