My ds is 4.5yr and in reception. Since Sept we have had to speak to the teacher at least once or twice a week regarding a boy in his class who pushes, kicks, snatches,-he cannot even stand in line without pushing someone over. When walking past a child he will poke them or push them, at snack time is knocks food to the floor and snatches toys or books etc. In the playground he is worse. The teacher has told me many other parents have complained.
This boy has had his parents at the school and is often stopped playtime. None of this seems to bother him, and he just laughs when hurting someone.
Last week, he snatched a well done sticker from another boy and ds took it back and gave it to the other boy. The bully punched ds, winding him and casuing him stomach pain all afternoon. I asked why he didn't tell the teacher and he said he had just been called as I was waiting at the classroom door and he wanted to go home. I complained to the teacher again the next day.
DS cries every morning, wakes up early (5.00am) not wanting to go to school and has had a stress acne round his mouth since sept- it gets all red and angry all week, goes down last morning of school, gone by end of weekend, back after school first day back.
DS cries at bedtime too as he doesn't want to go. He is also being affected by this boy bullying others- he picks on really small children and ds cries about how he knows the bully will do it again, and he hates the anticipation to see it. he cries for the children and it breaks my heart.
what can I do? what can the school do? will ds have this boy in the same class until he leaves school? its so miserable for us all. ds hates school, dreads going, and is is only 4
sorry about the long post, hope it explains things
