My ds is 5 yo. Over the past 4 months or so there has been an issue where he has come home on about 4-5 separate ocassions with scratches on his face perpetrated by a child in his class. My own son's play is boisterous at times, I have become increasingly concerned due to the risk of infection and that his eyes could get caught in the cross fire. Well, he came home with scratches again on fri, I spoke to his teacher she apoligised I explained why I was concerned. I know the other childs mother socially, I rung her and asked her if she had any feedback about it, or what could be done to stop this behaviour in the playground. I felt quite at the end of my tether. This evening before bed my ds finally explained how it happened ...' John ( year 2 boy) said that I should go up to 'Frank' and egg him on so that he starts fighting and scratching...'. I then said this was unkind and that my ds should mind his own buisness and play with other reception friends. He said to me that 'Frank' does not have any friends. I feel very unhappy regarding my ds' behaviour in inciting this reaction in this little boy any advice greatly received sorry for the long post
