[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a boy like this in my daughter’s grade and it’s very hard on certain kids. IMHO parents and teachers focus too much on prevention and not enough on repair.

Prevention seems like a pipe dream at this point (and the panicked adults only make the boy more stressed). I would work on apologizing in moments when he feels more in control. Then even if he does it again it doesn’t hurt as much for the more sensitive kids—they will start to take his teasing with a grain of salt. Hopefully then they will be less judgmental which will also help your son’s impulse control…[/quote]

WTF. you want to condition the kids that are getting picked on? you want them to be less judgemental when they are the ones getting hurt? As long as someone says sorry, it is ok for them to keep doing it? so if my kid is getting hit all the time by OP's kid at some point, my kid should just take it with a grain of salt? again, WTF[/quote]

To be clear, my son isn’t aggressive. I know that’s not the point you’re making.

He just wants to be socially accepted and he seems to be enjoying that other kids are laughing when he says not so nice things.

Thanks to a PP who talked about giving a compliment instead of a negative comment.

We have him in a social skills group as well and are working on strategies with his teacher. [/quote]
