[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And while I appreciate everyone's comments on the bullying, I'm really more concerned about the school refusal at this point. DS is humiliated by the suspension, by the fact no one seems willing to forget about it, and he's terrified this other child will hurt him again. He went to school today, but he cried all the way there.

We've had meetings (DH is involved). The principal insists DS is taking things harder than he should. His therapist is working with him, but DS is so afraid his classmates will find out he needed therapy and use that to bully him further that he doesn't participate well. [/quote]

You need to present a clear and united front that DS goes to school, crying or not. Your son sounds very anxious and you cannot over accomodate otherwise he’ll end up refusing all school. [/quote]
He's not anxious, he has a justifiable fear of physical injury. [/quote]

This. Anxiety, the way the term is generally used, is a disproportionate fear of harm or a fear response to a perceived, rather than actual, risk.

This kid is having a proportionate response to actual risks. This situation is horrific.
