We have just moved overseas for two years and our two DCs (8 and 6) have just started at a semi international school (half English language, half local). So they have a lot of readjusting to do and it's not particularly easy for them.
We've tried to support them as much as possible but unfortunately DS (6) has come up against a couple of kids at school who have hit him a few times. I mentioned this to the teacher who said she would keep an eye on DS, but this afternoon DS told me that two boys pinned him down today in the playground and took it in turns to kick him. One of the boys is one of the ones that hit him last week. He didn't tell a teacher, I imagine because of the language barrier.
I am going to try to speak to the teacher tomorrow, but need to be clear what I am going to say as I'm not fluent in the language and I'm not sure of the stance on bullying here. Can anyone help me? Im struggling to articulate why two children kicking DS feels so much worse than one hitting him. I really want to nip this in the bud. DS has enough to cope with right now without worrying about being set upon in the playground.
Also, he's told me who it is - is it okay to name the boy to the teacher?
Thank you!
