Kids hurting DC in reception

[Sheu34]

My son just started reception and has for a little while been mentioning how a couple of boys keep hurting him and not being nice. I've sort of let it go till now. However, tonight he mentioned that his friend overhead the two boys talking about hurting my son again tomorrow. I know kids are kids and I have no idea whether, how much of this is true etc. However, wpuld it be unreasonable to mention it to the teacher tomorrow. I don't want to be that parent but I also feel upset about my son. Would this be AIBU or not?

I'm an early years teacher and I would definitely want to know so I could keep an eye on the situation!

Just tell the teacher. Surely you only become "that" parent when you've been running to them two or three times about irrelevant or unimportant nonsense. This sounds like your son is being bullied.

Speak to the teacher

You should talk to your sons teacher, even if this isn't true if your son has said multiple times certain children are hurting him then the teacher be aware and monitoring that situation.

I'm a primary school teacher and would appreciate being told this so I could keep an eye on it and see what is happening. It can be hard to keep track of what all children are doing when outside so it may not have been spotted. Please tell them so they can monitor it and deal with the issue.

Thanks, I will do. One of the kids is definitely a handful but I don't how much its him specifically focusing on my son or just being naughty in general. Not idea about the other one. I am not sure what the teacher can do but it's sad listening to your four year old talking about how he knows he'll be hurt again tomorrow

100% speak to the teacher, they can keep an eye on it and manage the behaviour as needed.

I'm the parent that waited for the parent during drop off. Her son never hurt my child again. We are pals now 🤣

Hope your son's OK op x

I work in a school. Please don't approach the ither parents(s), it rarely ends well and will probably get you banned from the yard.

Oh I would certainly not approach the parents. Only the teacher.

I had similar with my DD in reception. I had a meeting with her teacher and they kept an eye on the situation and told my DD to tell a teacher each time it happened. Didn't take long for the other kid to stop.
I would say tell your son to go straight to a teacher as soon as the boys start on him and make the teacher and school aware of what's happening. They can't help him if they don't know what's happening.
