[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here..I also think the other kid (the "bully" for lack of a better term) has an anger issue; he blows up at the smallest thing.  Once at a playdate, he got furious when my kids referred to him by his full name...not name calling, more just calling him his longer name..and he grabbed them and he got so incredibly made (huffing and puffing) that he needed to go home.  I was like, really?  My kids are very popular in school; they are very smart; I think they have high social E.Q.  I think gentle joking is okay.  To react violently when my kids are just joking around is not okay.  (My kids are not saying super mean things; just jokey things.  honestly. )[/quote]

OP, you don't lack a better term than "bully."  So let's stick with "other kid."  And he isn't finding your sons' jokes funny.  They are hurting him.  He needs to learn that violence is absolutely not the answer.  But your sons need to learn that, if they are hurting someone, even unintentionally, they should stop.  They can be as jokey as they want with other kids, if they aren't getting upset.  But this kid isn't finding their jokes to be funny, so they need to back off.[/quote]
