I cant believe that boys of 4/5 years can be so cruel, mind youi can understand where you are coming from as my boy still has a problem with soiling himself, the school is totally behind him in trying to get him to become clean, but my boy still says that there are kids and parents in the class who have called him stinky!! its not nice to know that your baby is being talked about so spitefully. I do hope you get your bullying sorted and hopefully your son will enjoy the rest of his resception class x helen x ( bearsfootprints)bears footprintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905939511587242207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3478369879506390937.post-56155596343650711972012-10-07T08:55:05.069+01:002012-10-07T08:55:05.069+01:00Hi Jenny, I felt so sad reading this, as I did you...Hi Jenny, I felt so sad reading this, as I did your tweets the other day. It's so not OK for kids to act like this, no matter what age they are and I'm glad the school are going to tackle it, shame it took a letter from you to really kick things into action. I hope it gets resolved, it's heartbreaking dropping your child off to a place they don't want to go and he's so young it's important he enjoys school now. Good luck.

Also, and this is a hard one, but if you've met any of their Mums at the school gates and think there's one that you might be able to get on with, could you try inviting them round for tea and a play? If your son gets a chance to play one-on-one with one of them and forge an alliance, it may translate into an easier time at school. There are no easy answers, I wish you lots of luck.<br /><br />And I know exactly what you mean about 'getting back to normal' in September - I much prefer our holiday 'normal' of relaxed family time with lots of creative fun and no stressful morning rush! <br />Rachel xxRainbow Vintage Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074537730057546641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3478369879506390937.post-60891863812980718212012-10-02T12:53:10.261+01:002012-10-02T12:53:10.261+01:00It is definitely a settling and learning period an...It is definitely a settling and learning period and the teacher has got the children involved including my son and has spoken to them about how we are all different, hopefully these boys will take it all on board.

My son has been on the receiving end of things like this which came to a head when he came home one day and burst into tears shouting 'I'm not an idiot, I'm not!', fortunately the school acted on it quickly but it tore us up for a while. Your wee man is gorgeous and this is all a settling period. They will all come to accept each other in time. I must say though, there are still a couple of names I keep an ear out for still, just in case.Good luck xfindahappyplacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11601402334113694842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3478369879506390937.post-34885258414887185252012-10-02T11:29:02.305+01:002012-10-02T11:29:02.305+01:00Good for you - I hope that the school starts deali...Good for you - I hope that the school starts dealing with this. You are right, no-one should have to put up with negative conversations about them especially when they are in ear shot. Starting school is full of emotions and experiences, and as a parent we want these to be good ones - they are going to be going to school for a couple of years. You want to keep that lovely smile and their pride in their achievments so they enjoy their education, not make going to school something to dread. My fingers are crossed for you and your son that it improves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113890383667499573noreply@blogger.com
