Speaking of the Kindle Fire 8....

We just replaced Declan’s Fire 7 with the Fire 8 less than two weeks ago. The reason we had to replace the Fire 7 is because Declan, frustrated with a game he was playing and not doing well on, threw it down, and shattered the screen. We had a long talk about how that was inappropriate, how there are better ways to handle frustration, etc, etc., and we made him pay for half of the cost with Christmas money and told him we wouldn’t buy him a new on if he broke the new Fire 8.
Well, today, he dropped the Fire 8! He was taking it out of a crate on the kitchen table (no idea why it was in the crate) and it slipped out of his hands. I heard it hit the floor and I knew that he'd shattered the screen.
And of course I’m struggling, because on the one hand I did tell him that if he broke this one... on the other hand, it was an accident, and maybe I should have got him a more protective case this time around...
Ugh. Damn kids!
