[quote=Anonymous]Hmm. Having vivid memories of my own recess, and my son's experiences of recess, I would first visit in person, discreetly, to see of there is any bullying going on. Then I would observe to see whether my child has the necessary social skills to navigate completely open situations like these. You might also have a kid that needs to learn to ignore mean comments and casual cold shoulders, and be more resilient. You can't have structured play all the time, otherwise these situations would never come up, and children would never learn by them. Even good kids will occasionally say and do mean things and children have to experience them to be able to manage the emotions they create. As long as there is not consistent picking on one kid, it's good for them in the long run. I say this as the mother of a child who was bullied. I had to intervene once, but then it was fine.[/quote]
