DD seems to be targetted by a boy in her class at playtime, initially he seemed to be intent on pushing, shoving and tripping her up which I suppose you put down to general playground behaviour.
However, last week she came home quite upset as this boy had, in her words, 'kicked her in her private parts' and then placed his hands around her neck. I thought this quite worrying behaviour and spoke with the head teacher the following morning. He has spoken with all 3 children involved and apparently the boy concerned confessed to his actions and was taken out of the playground on Friday. In the afternoon, they all did a team building excercise and apparently all went very well and they were all awarded the 'head teachers award' sticker. Great. Today, she has come home again having been kicked in same area and is in some discomfort.
Other than the obvious, i.e telling dd to stay away from him, what else can we do or expect the school to do? I don't want this to blow up but at the same time and genuinely worried for dd. By the way, she is not the only child who has been hit by this child but I haven't spoken to other parents about this.
