For those ocuk parents you ever had a situation where your child has been/is bullied?

My son is little for his age group and quite quiet especially in a new environment. It isn't actually bullying but was at a play area and another child was picking on him and pushing him round. I told him if the little **** kept at it hit him/push him away, don't start anything but look after yourself but he won't because he's too nice for his own good. The whole situation hugely frustrated me and I wonder how I would cope with something more "serious"

So anyone had to deal with this? What did you do?
 
Quiet word with the other kids parents.

If that doesn't work you can try the classic - your kid hits my kid, i hit you.
 
From day one, I've always taught my lad to stand up for himself and take no **** but do this with the utmost respect with courtesy and manners.

IME its not a case of the child hitting back but more of using their brain to find a way around the situation.
 
We had this with my little one, we told him to hit/push back. It only took a couple more incidents and the bullies backed off to another softer target - one that wouldn't fight back. Little tw@ts.

But lots of schools these days are good with bullying, so i would also look at informing them and ensure they are aware that if it continues you will keep taking this higher and higher until something is done.
 
Don't get me wrong I don't want a little thug but worst case I want him to be able to stand up for himself, I've always told him this but he is so gentle natured. I would like to hope he won't be bullied as he has loads of friends and seems to get on with most but as tonight proved there's always a little **** out there.
 
Tell your kid to stand up to him. If he takes a beating then so be it. It's important to know where you stand. I wish I had known this as a kid!
 
"Don't go looking for trouble son, but if someone hits you then hit them back as hard as you can"

That was my dads advice on my first day of school. It stood me in good stead. People tried to bully me in my younger days and they got a fat lip and left me alone. Different times then, granted, and every child is different I guess.

Same with me in my days :p

Worked for me as well, lost the fight but bust his lip and gave him a black eye and never had any bother again :p
 
As its a little boy just tell your son to kick'em in the crotch, that will sort any bullying out. :D

Problem is they need to practise on dad first! :eek::p
 
Get the school involved and if they're half competent they'll sort it out, especially so if the bullies also go to the same school, but even if not they should report it to the school of the bullies and sort it out between them.

It's all good saying "sock it to them" but in reality some kids just won't do it - that's not a criticism, that's just the way some humans are programmed.

It's not ideal, but I think the only way to deal with bullying these days is fight back. Schools are absolutely terrible at dealing with it, from experience.
 
I was bullied at school by this one kid, I snapped one day and gave him a bloody nose. Funnily enough the rest of my school days were bliss. Would recommend ++
 
Your son has a good heart. You don't fight violence with violence, talk to his teacher. Have you made any attempt? Strange OCUK is your port of call for advice on the subject.
