My youngest started school full time in September, it's a good school, his sisters and brother also attended. He moved there with the same peer group he went to nursery with. On and off through the time he's been there he's been a little upset at home after school. I put it down to just getting into the longer days and a new environment.
Recently he's been more upset, saying a boy as hitting him and pushing him, calling him names. I have mentioned this multiple times to the teachers who said they would look into it, nothing changed.
Last Tuesday I got him to school a little earlier than usual, there is an area at the side of where the entrance is to his class. The kids were running around and playing, Tyler joined in, this boy ran at Tyler and pushed him, Tyler just smiled I thought they were playing. He wasn't hurt and just stood there, the boy did it again and then hit Tyler, he stood there and just kept smiling as the boy ran off into the crowd, the whole thing must have lasted 20 seconds.
The doors had opened and Tyler ran over to me, he told me the boys name and said that is the boy that hits him and pushes him, calls him names all the time. I told the teacher as I took Tyler in, he said he would have a word with the boy. Tyler was fine until Thursday, when I picked him up and we were walking out of the school this boy ran from behind, pushed Tyler, squirted water in his face from a water bottle. Before I could say anything he was gone into the crowd (this school is ridiculous at home time, a narrow alley runs down the side of the school building to access the rear where the foundation classes are).
It seems the school are not much good at controlling this youngster and he's upsetting my boy. I'm losing patience with this but I want to do things the right way. I don't want kids fighting so I can't encourage Tyler to hit back, I want him to keep doing as he always does and telling the teachers when things happen.
I'm going to the head when they go back after the break, I want this to stop. At the moment I'm battling against my oldest son telling my youngest to hit back. Some will no doubt say this is the way to go but I don't want this, I don't want Tyler thinking it's right to fight although on reflection it is defending himself, but he's 5 years old this should not be happening.
