[QUOTE="helpmehelphim, post: 8290, member: 2650"] Thank you Martie. He has taken classes for some years and he started in kindergarten...so cute when they are so little. He's never been aggressive with it and it was recommended to me by an Occupational Therapist (OT) friend who said that she felt it helped many of her pediatrician. Occupational Therapist (OT) patients. He gets tired of it off and on which I go with and then he'll take interest again. I've never seen him pull it out though in a group or anything. Even when he pulls out other things, the martial arts doesn't go on display. That is interesting and I've never really thought about it before. We had an incident the last week of school where kids in the classroom were telling him to "shutup" (the teacher had left the room) because he was talking to first himself and then a boy next to him to loudly. He said "you shutup" a few times in response and then a boy left his seat, walked up behind my son and hit him in the back of the head with- his book. My son fell out of his seat onto the floor. The teacher came in and asked why he was on the floor and my son said he fell out of his seat. Later, he did ask for an ice pack (he had a lump and a headache) and the teacher pressed him. He told the teacher what happened. After an investigation (interviewing all the other kids) the other child was suspended for one day. My son was harassed even more (this included the vice principal in my opinion who kept saying that my son provoked the other child...yet didn't get out of his seat and physically assault anyone) for this child being suspended. Anyway, my point is that in my mind, I thought "I'm so glad you didn't go over and try to hurt that boy for hurting you" since I know he knows martial arts just from being involved for so long. He didn't though. He kept saying he shouldn't have told. We had multiple conversations that there just wasn't anything he could have done to please those kids...tell, not tell, it was a no win. I was glad he took care of himself. They didn't call me either. I just happened to go by the school to have lunch that day. It was a terrible situation and I was so relieved that he wasn't going back into it again. [/QUOTE]
