My child is 6 years old. In February we spoke to the teacher regarding his ‘friend’ saying mean things and generally being horrible to him, constantly at school. Singling him out from the friendship group and telling him to go and play elsewhere, that he isn’t liked, no one wants to play with him etc. The school kept an eye on things for us and on the surface all seemed okay-ish, but for the last month or so the nastiness seems relentless. We spoke to the teacher again last week who has been supportive and spoken to my son who confirmed the other child isn’t being kind. School have suggested doing some kind of empowerment ‘course’ so he knows how to handle the situation a bit better. But for the second night this week I have had an inconsolable child at bedtime, last week it was exactly the same, perhaps even three out of the five nights he was upset. When is enough enough? I get teaching him to handle the situation but he is six and surely the other child should be accountable for being horrible and challenged on it. I’m sick with worry this will continue throughout the rest of his time at primary school. He loves school but this child is making him thoroughly miserable and my heart breaks for him. How can this be handled? I’m feeling so pissed off.
