Hi all,
I am after some advice. My son, aged 10, has been completely ditched by his friends (who he's been mates with since nursery). It was a twos company, threes a crowd situation - but it suddenly took a turn and silly, childish behaviour started to become quite nasty. We're not parents who think their childs perfect and we are sure at times he's given as good as he gets! But, me and my husband have been told by numerous children that these boys have made things up about our son to purposely get him into trouble, he's often called "weirdo", he's physically pushed and has been left with no friends. We've even had these children outside our house, singing a best friend song together. It may seem silly childish stuff but it is having a huge impact on our son now. He's been left with no friends, these boys tend to ask if the children our son plays with want to play which leaves him alone. Our daughter also saw a lot of nasty behaviour at school towards our son but after speaking to their parents we've been told it's all our sons fault and our daughter is actually a bully too. Parents have turned quite nasty, they give me and my son dirty looks on the school run and I believe it's due to one of the boys parents, who is quite popular at the school, saying that my son is the issue. School have done little to support and in fact have made me feel like I am an over emotional mum. How can I help him? Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice would be appreciated.
