I am starting a thread in here for traffic purposes.
DS has had a really tough start to school and has been struggling to settle in. In the past couple of weeks there have been incidences of children complaining to me about him saying that he is hitting. Today I was called into headmistress to talk about this problem.
The school were amazing and have suggested a plan of action in dealing with the problem and have also been really supportive.
However, this afternoon I was watching the behaviour of the children in the playground and I was horrified. There was one girl at the centre of 3 other girls who was trying to coax them into chasing after DS and joining in her "game". I felt it was too much that 4 children were chasing after my DS and tried to corner him and when they let him go he retaliated by pinching the ringleader who then started crying. I chatted to him about using words and told the girl that DS doesn't like being chased like that so don't do it.
They are only 4 years old so I can see that playing can get out of control. However, now I can see how DS has got to where he has. I want to bring this up with his form teacher tomorrow but don't want to sound like I am accusing. How do I do this successfully.
Please help.
