My DS started his new school only 2 weeks ago we had so much trouble getting him a school and the one he is at was not my first choice we waited 3 weeks and kept getting told that there was no room at any of the schools. He went to this school which seems very nice and after his first week complained about being bullied aby 3 other bigger boys. I told the teacher on the monday she said she would watch out so she did and yes the older boys were picking on him at dinner time. So they were pulled a side and told off. They left him alone on the Tuesday but then my son picked on a smaller boy and the teacher saw him and told him off. When I asked why would you do that he said I was copying the bullies. I have never had this problem with my DS before I was bullied at school and its not nice. I told my son that its fine to stick up for your self if someone is picking on you and to tell a teacher. But its not ok to pick on another child who is not being mean to him. Im worried about him now as his behaviour seems to have changed a little since this whole thing what should I do? Confused

Is it just this one incident? If so, then don't panic! He's been told off, you have talked to him, and he's only 4.

Yes its just the one incident. But he is off school now so I hope he is ok when he goes back in a week. Im worried about the bullies bothering him too. Think I just need to see what happens? Thanks
