My ds is in reception and it started out well but for the last two weeks he’s been having meltdowns in the evenings and being aggressive towards me.Hes been coming out with odd phrases which are really nasty and out of character. I’ve been very cross with him because of this seeing it as just a pushing boundaries issue.
Ds is one of four boys in his class and two of the boys were friends at nursery so they play together.Ds is left with the other boy who seemed ok but bossy at first.This boys mother came up to me after school saying that my ds won’t play with her ds and that she was worried about it,I felt really bad about this so invited the boy to our house for a play date.
Now I see the problem. This boy is bossing my ds round all the time,telling him off and shouting at him.Im amazed that my ds who used to be confident is just doing what this boy says.I really think this is why ds dreads going to school, he loves his teacher but he is being constantly paired up with this other boy.Its a small class and there is no escape from him.
AIBU to speak to the boys mother about this or should I try to discuss with the teacher? I really don’t know what the solution is when there aren’t many children to play with.
