[quote=Anonymous]My son is 10 and has always been a sensitive kid, but I have noticed he is being more "short" and emotional lately, especially with friend circle encounters. He’s twice now at birthday parties told me he “hid” because he was being bullied. With more conversation it seems like it surrounded a difference of opinion. He also seems acutely aware of the shift within his classmates, things like hearing his friends have crushes and other things along that line. He seems bothered by it. Maybe just noticing the change in behaviors. He's brought up concerns that he won’t pass fourth grade. (Not a concern.) Also that some friends may not return to his elementary in the fall for 5th. How can I best steer this? I tried to have a chat regarding the hiding and that this isn’t the best way to navigate a situation. It may backfire and bring unwanted attention. I've always encouraged stepping away to take a breath but this is a little too much. [/quote]
