[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, when I came in to pick up my son today, he and another little boy were poking each other.

Yesterday, the other little boy "hit" my son.

A girl teased my son because his "butt crack" was showing.

None of these things are bullying.

Kids need to be shown the right way. The teacher should be (and probably is) aware.

Don't assume your DS plays no role. Don't assume the other kids are bullies. Kids are kids. Kindergartners are learning.

I'm not saying ANY of this should be laughed off. But your child will sense your reactions and react in accordance to what you think.

Again, make sure the teachers are aware, make sure your son knows what to do when it happens, and relax.[/quote]

I think this is valid.

My DS is in a class with a particularly 'challenging' kid who acts out sometimes and has hit some of the other kids.  He was in preschool with this same child last year.  If I only went by the stories that DS told me, I would think this little boy was a monster.

However, I used to volunteer in DS' preschool classroom and I know for sure that this is just a 'challenging' kid.  He's NOT a bully.  Sometimes, he's even actually a really sweet kid.  For whatever reason (not sure his total situation), he just acts out sometimes.  His teachers are completely aware of the situation and try the best they can.  But, to label this poor 5 year old a bully seems harsh and unnecessary.  Yes, it's something to keep an eye on, and something that needs to be addressed, but I bet if you spent more time in the classroom (if you're able) the situation for your DS might not be as horrible as it sounds.[/quote]
