[QUOTE="Malika, post: 536095, member: 11227"] Yup, about 38 kids aged from 2 to 11. As I say, the different ages do play with each other, from necessity, and in some ways I think this is a good thing, personally. J went off to school saying he was going to say to this kid "You're not nice! I don't want to play with you." In some ways J is quite sophisticated for his age but in others he is just an innocent five year old... who doesn't understand that people have complicated intentions sometimes. He also didn't know the word "midnight" (in French). I don't know if his not understanding is due to an "issue" or just being due to being five years old. Heavens, I was naive like this well into my adult years... But, yes, I would be happy to read him the social story, Ktllc, if you wanted to send it. Thanks. This other kid IS being nasty. He is getting the others of his age group to be spiteful to J... bullying. And the school has no policy on it, of course. The teacher is herself a bully, so what can you do? At any rate, this is life, how it is, and I feel it's good that J learns how to handle himself if someone is being deliberately nasty like this. I WILL speak to the boy also, though, the next time I see him around. Little update: was out this lunchtime with J as he rode his bike (and played with a little girl from his school who lives where he rides) and the other kid's dad - who works for the village, doing various work and repairs - came by. J went up to him and declared "T lied to me!" The chap understandably looked puzzled so I went up to him and just explained a little of what was going on... He looked concerned and said he would talk to his son. Apparently he is forbidden from seeing the boy J sometimes plays with because, the man said, they get up to mischief in the village together and people phone him to complain... Which explains to me something of why this kid has started being nasty to J. And also underlines the whole difficulty of staying in this village with a child who is not satisfied staying at home playing quietly by himself and where I cannot invite other kids to come here because there is no enclosed garden or woodland. Trouble is I myself am now quite attached to this house with its spectacular views all around... [/QUOTE]
