Anybody still up?

I cant sleep. Woke up and started thinking about my son being constantly teased at school by a certain kid and now I cant go back to sleep. Grrrrrrrrr

I am here, it is morning in Italy.

{{{{HUGS}}}} to you. It is so unsettling when our children are having issues, especially with bullies.

Have you tried talking to the child's mother or the teacher? My DS had a problem with two siblings bothering him on the bus, so my DS (on his own) went to the kids mother (she is a teacher in the school) and told her what was happening. The mother said she would take care of it and the kids have not bothered my DS since.

This kid has been in my sons class since Kindergarten...now in the third grade. I have had numerous conversations with the various teachers and they have called this kid on the carpet many times but it never stops. Today the kid purposly laughed at my son when something happened because he knew it would make my son get upset. It did and the entire class laughed at my guy.

I think my next move is to warn this kid with the teacher present that if it continues our next conversation will be with his parent in the principals office.

I have tried to get my son not to let this kid bother him but the teasing is constant.

Hello!

I would lose sleep over a thing like that too. Hopefully, you can work things out!

I'm up too. But I just got up. Travelling today to the Dominican Republic to play in a golf tournament.

Don't worry too much about your DS lvs....he'll be fine. Talk to him, make sure he knows what a wonderful person he is and that some children are scared and unconfident so they lash out at others. I guess we've all been through having a bully pick on us. It just takes some time and other friends and eventually we make it through.

Never a nice feeling. Why do some kids have to do this to other kids? And, why isn't anyone else around (an adult) when this happens? {{HUGS}} for DS and you! (Those are Royal {{HUGS}} btw, since I'm the Queen

This kid seems to know just when to say or do something so that an adult doesnt hear or see.

Unfortunately and fortunately I know exactly what my son is going through. I was teased constantly in school. I just dont want to see my son go through what I did.

I do tell him what a wonderful, smart, funny, etc... kid he is. He knows how loved he is and what a great kid he is but this type of personal teasing just gets to him. Ive tried telling him to ignore the kid, pity the kid, Ive given him hints on comebacks for the kid and nothing is working. We've talked with the teachers etc... and it continues and has for the last four years. From what I have seen the only thing that happens to the kid is he gets.....oooooo scary.....talked to. Which goes in one ear and out the other. Maybe if the kid had to write or had some other punishment attached he would stop.

You know something is wrong when several kids have the same problem with the same kid.

After 4 years of this garbage, I'd find a little 'private' moment with this kid and, speak my mind ~ Parent to kid! I'd let this kid know a few things and, well..... I'd hope that'd be the end of it!

I don't like fighting someone else's battles but, sometimes, someone has to step in.

Patooie on bullies, and cliques!!!

Funny thing is we have a no bully policy at our school. Doesnt seem to be working in this case. I think today I will get with the teacher and the kid and warn him that if I hear one more thing about him teasing my son his mother will be called in for a conference with the principal.

I try to let my son fight his own battles but four years is just too long to let this go on. Ive tried the schools way. Now its MY WAY.

I would talk to the kid alone but Im afraid of what he might say to a teacher etc. I wouldnt put it past this kid to lie like a rug just to get back at me. I want another adult present when I talk to him, preferably the teacher, so that I have proof of what I said.
