Nc.
My little boy has just told me he wishes he were a girl.

He goes to a tiny rural school and is in a class with mixed ages, but the group he's with the most is his own year group. He's the only boy.

One of the girls said he can't play with them because he's a boy. This means he's on his own. He's four ffs. I've already spoken to the school about it.

Wwyd?

Not sure there’s anything more you can do. Hopefully the teacher ensures they all play together nicely.

So he wishes he were a girl so that he could play too, to clarify.

You tell him that the girls in his class are being ridiculous and boys and girls can play together.

Speak to the teacher. Make sure he is included.

It must be awful to be the only boy in his age group, it's so important for them to have friends around them at that age. Would you consider moving him to another school ? My niece had a similar situation, her daughter was the only girl in a class group in a tiny school she really felt lonely and left out of the boys games and eventually they had to move her to a bigger school

@TrollAlarm9999999 I'm not sure why you think I'm a troll.... maybe it takes one to know one...?

Speak to his school.

If they dont sort out the friend exclusions.

See if you can change his school.

Kids dont need this kind of bullying at the young age of 4.

YoNoSoyMarinero · 05/11/2022 14:47

I had thought that excluding based on sec would be learnt behaviour but perhaps I'm wrong. I don't want ds to learn to be so unkind.
