That's it really. DS1 has done 8 days so far and I've heard about him being pushed, slapped, kicked and on Friday evening I noticed scratch marks on his chest.
Each attack was on a different day, apparently by a different boy every time (always at playtime).
I've mentioned it to a couple of other mums who have also had problems with kicking, hair pulling etc.
Is this normal? I know I have to allow for a settling-in period but even so. My lad is quiet and gentle. He must have been terrified. He doesn't do fighting. This is breaking my heart. He is enjoying school and seems to be doing really well. He is the type who is always eager to please and would never create a fuss (star of the class in assembly on Friday). But we don't do violence at home. This is all new to me and I'm going to have to raise it with his teacher in the morning. Right???

Is it normal for boys to come home from reception class with scratches + bruises. It's only week 3. Am dreading tomorrow already
