I need to know how to stay calm and make my point confidently. His teacher has already tried to dismiss what I'm saying this morning but has asked me to come back this afternoon after school. I can't express myself properly. I interrupt her constantly which I know is VERY annoying, I cry, I go pink & forget what I'm saying.
The specifcs aren't really important but here they are anyway:
My DS is 4.5 and being bullied at school. There are 2 boys in his class who he thinks are his friends and sometimes they are. Those are the times when DS's behaviour is manageable and he is happy in school.
There are times though, when they both decide to be horrible to DS. He is very sensitive and feels every single hurtful comment keenly but doesn't seem to in the normal way. They tell the other children not to be friends with him, they threaten to tell the teacher on him all the time even when he's not done anything, they wind him up so he'll get into trouble then laugh at him afterwards. I have witnessed a lot of this kind of thing happen outside of school too. When they're being horrible to him, he can't handle it. He becomes withdrawn and uncooperative. He also has meltdowns that the teachers think is because he's been made to do something but I know he has been upset earlier and it has resulted in this. It doesn't really matter how she deals with this or even if she 'believes' there is a problem, I just need to be able to talk about this without looking like an unstable emotional wreck.
He is being assessed for special needs at the moment and the teacher is not only aware but has instigated a referral herself.
