I want to speak to my son’s class teacher about some potential low level bullying that has just started. DS has spoken up quickly, at this point he’s not upset (although the says he’s a bit anxious about it). The boy is saying DS has girls hair - DS says that this boy has previously done this to another child who has now left the school - I don’t know if the 2 things are related.
My issue is that I kind of know the boys mum - they boys play on the same sports team. I think she would be pretty aghast if she knew her DS was doing this to my DS (but I don’t know that 100%). I can’t quite articulate why I don’t want to approach her and that I want to go straight to the teacher, and I don’t know what to say if she does approach me (and she might not).
I don’t know when name calling becomes bullying and when DS may need to learn to brush off some of it just because he doesn’t find it funny.
Both boys are 9.
