[quote=Anonymous]Almost everyone makes valid points.  Yes, you need to help your child stand up for himself and, yes, you need to be proactive.

When child first mentions it to you, try to help him handle it.  Don't grill him all thetime and make it bigger than it is--but, do listen and be very sensitive to him.

If it continues for more than a day or so, contact the school counselor by email.  Ask for a meeting--or, at least speak by phone.  
1. Ask the counselor how you can help him at home.
2. Ask the counselor what he/she can do to help your child at school.

Do not expect your child to be included with the bully.  The best you can really hope for is that he be ignored by the bully --and sometimes, that is also difficult.

Absolutely, demand that your child not be with bully the next year.  DEMAND.

DD was bullied unmercifully in fourth grade.  Mean Girls type of bullying.  The counselor was very helpful and handpicked the groups that she was with the next two years.  It made a world of difference.  DD was never in the "in" group--but her quality of life was much improved.[/quote]
