[quote=Anonymous]Lots of decent kids in kindergarten are flexing their muscles (social power).  Tell the teacher and she'll figure it out.  This is not middle school or HS where the kid needs to "defend himself"!  OP's son is in kindergarten.  It's perfectly reasonable and age appropriate for him to rely on the teacher to protect him from someone who punches him!  I'm nearly certain the teacher will quickly extinguish the aggressive kid.  At this age, it's pretty easy to turn them around b/c they still have fear of getting in trouble with adults.

Usually teachers are very responsive to this kind of thing in kindergarten.  I think you'll have it cleared up quickly.  FWIW, my son was hating school for awhile in K b/c his "friend" was calling him "chicken head" and other names.  We liked this other kid and his parents and we couldn't understand why son wasn't talking to the other kid when we'd see him on the way to school.  After a quick talk with the teacher, it was fixed.  They teach a curriculum about bullying even in kindergarten.

OP, you'll be doing the aggressive kid a favor by having the teacher correct his ways now.  [/quote]
