[quote=Anonymous]At this age I would definitely loop his classroom teacher in. Just send an email and state the facts, largely as you have here. See what the teacher has to say. If he can, the best thing to do is roll his eyes and say “whatever Larlo” or even “oh shut up Larlo”. Trying to throw personal insults back will likely backfire. If he is getting visibly upset that often makes things worse IME. Boys do tend to tease each other a lot, sometimes trading mild insults etc with friends- but this sounds well beyond what that is, and also at too young of an age. On an unrelated note, in a few years the tables will turn quite dramatically IME (as middle school approaches it tends to be the smaller boys that get teased). Which is terrible as well, of course. Sorry this is happening to your DS! [/quote]
