If your child was picked on

[brightsunnydayy]

My dc seems to be a bit picked on at the moment. He is not v good at running and they play a lot of chase games.
I didn't like how the other boys treated him after watching them today. Not mean enough for other parents to intervene but the other children were all united in calling/ chasing/ attacking my dc who was clearly not able to outrun them and they didn't seem very friendly or well meaning in their 'attacks' either. They can be rough too. That has happened a few times now and it's right from the start till the end. All I here is dc's name called out...
He's so desperate to have friends and doesn't seem to mind but I don't want him always to be the one to be played against.

Any advice to nip it all in the bud before it gets worse for him? Therese are children who dc goes to school with everyday (7/8yo).

Hopeful bump

So sad, I know how you feel. I would invite the one your son likes most home for tea and play, give them great time and get him on side

Thank you. Well, the reason he wants to join them is because of one child, who he regards his best friend.
That boy is usually very nice when 1to1 but not on his side when in a group. I've been trying to get more 1to1 after school but other mum has always suggested playing with the others instead.
