[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 27243, member: 3419"] Oh, that's so sad! I agree with-'Chell that it's gone beyond his ability to handle. I really disagree with-the no tattling comment... I realize that teachers get tired of it when kids come to them for every little thing, but this has carried over too far. You can teach him to loudly say, "Cut it out! That's rude!" or something, so that who ever is watching at that time will have a better chance of catching the mean kid in the act. Even if s/he didn't hear the exact words, s/he'll have heard two sets of voices and can figure it out from there. My easy child daughter had many issues like that when she was younger and it made us crazy. She was such a softie. I rarely intervened, although I will say that like the writers above, husband and I were on opposite ends of the spectrum. I gave her a few snappy responses that actually made her laugh, and husband kept telling her to be Christian and kind. He didn't "get it." She was too young. It's SO hard when kids are first experiencing this sort of thing from their supposed friends. Adults have been through it so many times, well, it just gets old and we can choose whether to toss it back or be kind. It's all new and very tender for kids. with-a roomful of difficult child I can only imagine how bad it must get... my difficult child is in a regular classroom and he occasionally gets it but the rooms are so small the teacher usually hears the whole thing. (Typically, the kids are separated. And also, when other kids do name-calling, it escalates and they start in on the teacher, too, so that's an instant trip to the princ. ofc.) Good luck! And hugs for difficult child. No one deserves to be belittled like that. [/QUOTE]
