Help!

My son started primary school in late august and initially loved it, but after a few days starting getting hysterical at the thought of going in, I persevered and we were on day 6 today of no tears! I then get a call from the teacher today who wants to meet with us to say he is hitting and biting a boy in the class. He won’t be 5 till January and I know no child is perfect but what is concerning me more is that this is completely out of character for him. We have never had a bad report from pre school or child minder who has 5/6 other kids about him, and his childminder who had him 4 mornings a week from 8-12 was just as gobsmacked by this. He’s the one we worried wouldn’t stand up for himself. When we questioned him- he said that a boy hit him and was constantly kicking him (shins are black and blue) so he pushed him. I also don’t want to come across to the school as my son is perfect, but don’t want to come down too hard on my son if he being hurt (I totally get that he can’t hit back in school either) and don’t want this behaviour. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. TIA Gene xxx

I would be making an appointment with the class teacher, and take photos of your son's shins to show her. Explain to her what your son told you, and ask where she got the idea that your son was responsible for biting/ hitting from (most likely this other child). You won't come across as pushy for defending your child.

As the child who was constantly bullied and who's teachers only listened when i was the one getting into trouble for retaliating I would knocking this on the head.

Speak to the teacher, explain what you have and mention that it's concerning they seem not to have noticed any of this.

It's not fair for a little boy to have to go through life being abused by other children. It's not right.

I will make an appointment with the instructor of the class, and I will take a picture of your son's shin to show her for proof, protecting students is the teacher's duty, they need to make sure of this madalin stunt cars
