To be proud of my son

[GooseyLoosey]

Ds (7) has social integration issues at school and has been the victim of sustained bullying for several years. This is easing off now.

Recently, another boy was being attacked and ds (very large for his age) waded in and pulled them all off and asked them if they had not learned anything from the way they had treated him.

He risked them turing on him to help someone who is not even his friend and he didn't hit them - he made them ashamed of what they were doing. I am so proud of him I could burst!

Yanbu to be proud of him, I would be proud too! What a lovely boy you are raising

That is staggeringly mature. We could do with someone like him at United Nations level. Congratulations

Goosey - YANB at all U!!! Your son sounds like a gem.

Good for him, a fine example to the others, and hopefully MADE an example of the others.

Brilliant.

He sounds lovely. Which means you probably are too

Thanks - there have been times when I thought he would never quite "get" normal social interaction, but frankly I don't care anymore. If the others are normal and he is not, I want him to be as he is.

I honestly get all teary whenever I think of how wonderful he was.

Oh bless him, what a star!

Goosey you are making ME teary, just thinking about how brilliant he was...

Please send your DS to my DS's school.......my DS really would love a friend like him. What a star, you deserve to feel proud you have raised him well

Thank you all again - it is just so nice to share the good moments of parenting for once.

aw, what a lovely boy! you deserve a proud mummy moment!

Ah what a lovely, sensitive and intelligent boy you have!
