DS (nearly 6) has recently started a new school, as we have moved back to our area. There are some other kids he used to go to preschool with in his class, which is awesome as there is some familiarity. He's become very tight with one of them. However I just found out he's been excluding one of the other
(quiet, shy) boys, saying 'he's annoying'. Apparently he said this to his face the other day. I was mortified as I had just been chatting with his mum about potentially setting up a playdate with them all.
We have had a couple of chats about being inclusive, and today I asked exactly what he finds annoying about him - the answer was 'his hair'! So I went ahead and invited the boy to DS's upcoming birthday party - I don't want him to be the only boy in the 'group' not invited. But help - how much do I interfere going forward? Do I just leave them to it? I don't want to meddle but I also don't want to allow my son to bully by exclusion...help!
