constantly 'bullying' in the playground? Bullying may not quite be the right word, but I see him everyday when I go to collect his brother. He is 5, and much much bigger than his peers, and is very very exuberant. Last week I saw him chasing a boy with a hulahoop and catching him with it by the neck. The next day I saw him pinning a smaller child to the ground in the line up, and today as I walked past his classroom they were all outside in the corridor and he had another smaller boy pinned up against a bookcase and was smacking his bottom. I dealt with all three of those situations directly with him (there were no teachers or TAs around taking any notice), and am furious, as although it genuinely is exuberance, clearly it is unacceptable behaviour and I certainly don't stand for it at home. What would you do? It feels odd that I have to go to the teacher and say I have seen him behaving badly at school! I am not great at handling this sort of stuff, and would welcome your posts.
