Hell Hath No Fury

Hell hath no fury like an 11 year old scorned. I made the mistake of not following through with a reward system. An 11 year old that I'm working with didn't get his weekly award and was pissed at me the next time I saw him. It wasn't my fault, because his teacher told me that the program wasn't working. "Not working" equals "scrapped" to me, so I figured that the program had been dropped. Lo and behold, the kid was doing well and earning his checks. I was the one who didn't follow through, so now I look like an ass. I'm hoping that this will just blow over, but when I talked to someone who knows him well, she said that he doesn't let anything go, he holds grudges for a while. Great.
