Hi all. Im just after some advice.
My 6yo is having issues with another boy at school that I believe is bordering on bullying and I really want to nip it in the bud.
The problem is that we're really close friends with this other boy's parents. And our 4yos are best friends and have grown up together. So we really want it all to remain amicable but I think as a result I've probably ignored it a bit too long!
This boy has always been unkind at times but it has started to become bullying now including getting other children to be mean to our LB too.
We've made the decision to speak to school without telling our child (who is adamant he doesn't want us too) and obviously the other parents. But does anyone have any advice on what we should expect of school? Im worried we're going to be fobbed off with "we will keep an eye out". I've started by making a list of everything our LB has said about what's happened. I'm a teacher (secondary) so I know schools need to be on it with bullying! But I also appreciate they're very busy and I'm aware that my child can be quite sensitive and he's the youngest in the year so a little immature.
Thanks in advance for the help!
