First of all I am basing my question on what my 5 year old DS has told me, he is usually pretty honest about things though.
DS is 5 and has a bit of a temper in certain situations. He has been having problems with one particular girl in his class, massive clash of personalities. He said that she was nudging him at register time and he nudged her back and got into trouble. This struck me as typical 6 of 1 and half a dozen of another and I didnt particularly pay much attention. The carpet places have since been re-jigged and so issues between DS and this girl have disappeared.
As he has been known to lash out if someone does something to him, I have been working really hard to encourage him to tell the teacher rather than nudge or hit back. Today DS says he was drawing a picture when the girl who he has had issues with came in and scribbled on his picture. DS said he told a Teaching Assistant (who, to be honest, seems really good at her job and ive been really impressed with) she apparently, according to DS, reprimanded him for telling tales and said nothing to the girl who had scribbled on his picture. This same girl then followed DS into the creative zone and smacked his shoulder, which made him cry. DS said that a TA from the attached Nursery class asked him if he was ok but he didn't want to tell his own teacher or teaching assistant in case the Ta said he was telling tales again.
Wwyd? I feel angry because I have spent weeks trying to stop DS from retaliating and encouraging him to tell a teacher etc and now this has happened but equally don't want to appear like one of those parents who thinks the sun shines out of their child.
I'm actually in school next Tuesday morning for a parents at school session that they have. Wibu to mention it? What should I say.
