[quote=Anonymous]My dc is very sensitive, and I know that it is difficult sometimes to know when to intervene and when to let him work things out his own.  I've discovered that he doesn't make things up, but, on the other hand, he gets upset about things that most kids would just blow off, and which most wouldn't consider bullying.   I really do try to walk a fine line between making sure that he knows that I don't think that there's anything wrong with him, but also teaching him coping strategies.  We discuss the fact that it isn't nice, and he's right to be upset, but kids generally don't tease other kids if they don't get a reaction out of them. We discuss funny responses he can make. He's come a long way in the last few months.

I would recommend talking to the camp, to alert them to the fact that your child is sensitive to the teasing, but not necessarily demanding that they intervene.  They can keep an eye out, to make sure it doesn't get out of hand, and also give your child encouragement.

There is a very good book I read -- I think it was called "The Sensitive Child." It was amazing to have someone describe my child so accurately.  [/quote]
