[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids were working in a group project of 2. Other kid called my kid f ing stupid. My kid is super sensitive and just cried to me after school.

If we mention it to the teacher I am afraid the kid will be even worse to my son the rest of year and 6 more years through high school.

If I don’t mention it, I worry about my kid and be bullied even more through the year and won’t tell me since I won’t help him now.

I told him to try and make things nice on Tuesday. To give it one more try and let things cool off.

Anyone been there? Any advice please? [/quote]

OP, you are trying to solve the wrong problem. You are looking outside instead of inside. You should not be debating whether telling or not telling the teacher will result in the other kid retaliating vs your kid losing faith in you as an advocate. That might work for this one instance, but what happens when the next partner calls him f’ing slow?

You should be teaching your child tools and advice on how to respond to insults. Look at your child and realize that he has a lifetime of mean comments and undeserved slights coming his way. We all do. Are you going to try to swat each one away? Or teach him how to be resilient and learn to do it himself?[/quote]
