Feeling a bit low as just dropped my 3 yr old off at nursery. I stood at the nursery kitchen window to watch him run out with his friends. I then saw my DS's 2 alleged best friends attempt to throw big rocks at Him. I jumped out and told them off and they stopped but no staff came forward so had obviously either not seen it, or thought it wasn't worth intervening. They were just in the porch getting other kids into their jackets so should have been aware of what was happening. They couldn't see me from where I was standing. I told my son to tell his teacher if it happens again. But I'm a bit annoyed with myself now that I didn't raise it with the teacher myself there and then..or is it best just to let my son do it himself? My son is quite timid and not aggressive, even the teachers say that it just doesn't occur to him to push or hit anyone. Do I tell the other parents what their kids were doing? I'm not sure if I'm maybe over reacting, and this was just kids playing, but these were big rocks that could really have hurt someone. I just feel so crap as it looked like my son was getting picked on.
My Ds has complained of other incidents where one of these "friends" is pushing him or being quite aggressive or excluding him. They are only 3/4 yr olds but still I want to be able to help my son protect and stand up for himself. What can I do?
