[quote=Anonymous]OP, does your school have a school counselor for the kids?  If so, can he or she have a short sit down with your kids and the other kids to talk about what is happening on the playground?

Kids should keep their hands to themselves - he other kids should not squeeze your son.  Kids should be kind or at least respectful of others - your kids should not intentionally disrupt their game.

From what you have said, your kids are not being bullied.  The other kids are not seeking out your kid or kids and teasing them or beating on them or excluding them.

Your story has changed in the course of this thread, probably in part because you are only getting part of the story.  You might want to see if you can get a better feel for what is going on - ask the boys' teachers, any adult on the playground, etc.  Then you might have a better feel for what can and needs to be done.

BTW, you have a common and outmoded view of teasing.  Kids do it but that does not make it right.  Words do hurt.  Your kids may be picking up on your attitude and trying it out for size on the playground.  If so, they are being unkind.  Is that OK?[/quote]
