Bit worried about aggressive children in ds's class

I guess there's nothing much I can do, is there?

There are a couple of lads in his class (yr1) who are a bit full on. One is huge - much larger than any of the others - and regularly throws his weight around though so far he seems not to mean any harm. He's just pushy and has repeatedly hit me, my elder child and his own mother in the playground, this was before they started school and he still is like it now. She does nothing to stop him, though he hasn't hit me in a while now.

The other one seems to shout all the time, I mean ALL the time in a very aggressive sort of roaring way. He shouts at his mother too. It's like she can't control him.

My child is very small, very gentle and not at all noisy or aggressive (well he fights a bit with his big brother at home, but that's it).

The last week or two he has been shouting a lot, using a silly voice and I wonder if he is copying these kids. It's worrying me not so much because he's being like them, but because I'm afraid they will hurt him at school.

I'm probably being stupid and psb about it but has anyone been in this situation, and what happened? Was your child ok?

Just after reassurance really.

I think it's an opportunity to teach your son about not copying the worst of other people's behaviour. Along the way, he may need to try it out for himself to realise for himself that it's not a nice way to be.

You need to chat to staff about making sure he's safe from the aggression of others.

Thankyou, will keep an eye on things I suppose and hope that they don't develop - the thing is these boys are so small, and it might just be small-child behaviour rather than something that they carry on with.

I hope they grow out of it and into really nice children so I can relax Smile
