Thankx guys,
I WILL put all that you've said into practice.
I dun't know how he'll feel bout giving me a hug when we 'make up' again after his bad behaviour (I've never hugged him b4). Yeh, I've stroked his hair when we were sat on the communal stairs in my block & he got jealous coz I was getting on with other kids (and started to cry), that made him feel better. I assured him that only he will be my lil' bro & though I might be friends with the others it doesn't mean I like him any less. Besides his parents have accepted me as being his virtual older brother.

So, from now on it's a hug for good behavior (including showing remorse for a previous bad action) & sending him home for bad which he doesn't appologise too.

TY again 2 all for yer wisdom. For me it's juz a matter of learning.
