eally could do with some advice here from both mums and dads. My 8 year old boy has been coming home from school recently upset due to being picked on for various reasons. Today, apparently, a TA called him a baby for crying. He's very sensitive and takes things to heart. When I was his age I had a physical and emotional bullying issue which persisted until the first day of high school. My parents attitude was names can't hurt and my bruises I just blamed on falling over etc, which I know they didn't believe. Several times went into speak to the head but to no avail. In fact it made things worse. On my first day of high school one of them hit me and it was at that moment I thought enough was enough and let's just say I was no longer a target. With my son part of me wants to say to him, and I have half joking, just smack these kids square in the nose and it will stop but as a parents it's the wrong approach...or is it? Should I speak to the school? I know the head it's in denial with regards to bullying in her school. I'm at a loss. Please help!
