My son is in year six. He is very social. He has a mild disability but I don't think it's relevant here. Just including for clarity.
I'd say he's quite popular. He goes on sleepovers fairly often. Lately he has got in with what he calls the "cool" group. However today when he was trying to talk to one of the girls he goes to a sports club with, her friend butted in to say "nobody likes you" to my son for no reason.
He was shocked and had no answer but he said it made him sad for the rest of the day. This girl has not been like this before.
Before I turn into a lioness and potentially do the wrong thing, can anyone advise me how I should deal with this? Notify the teacher or head teacher, speak to the parent? Let him fight his own battles?
It's a really mean thing to say. I want to do something but I don't know what. I'm even tempted to go up to the kid herself and ask why she's said that, but I know that would not be the mature approach.
