[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS12 is facing lots of meanness at school - he is a skinny, not very strong kid and they call him 'weak', 'slow' ,etc. Not bullying, just kids being kind of nasty. He is a bit overly sensitive about it too. I think he needs to practice comebacks that will better stand up for himself. He says he can never think of a comeback so I think we need to practice these at homes. Any thoughts on how to help him build these skills? Or what specific comebacks might be useful for this situation?

Sorry so late to seeing this -- what I found too be the most effective thing of all, weren't comebacks (because they'll just come back at him and then he'll have nothing to say back after that) and around & around they'll go.

What I finally did that stopped it once and for all... was yawn. 
Seriously... they'd say something and I just yawned and looked at them like I was either bored out of my mind and continue on to what I was just doing or yawn and walk away.

It worked EVERY time and left them dumbfounded as to what I've was doing and eventually it stopped, because they looked dumb as he11 standing there trying to cut me down and I acted like I didn't even hear them, and what I did hear, I didn't have time to waste on.

Practice that with your kid, he'll feel so empowered the first time he pulls it off successfully, but practice it because timing is everything. [/quote]
