I have a friend who's daughter is being tormented by a boy in her grade and it is turning into an aweful mess..it turns out the boys mom is a bully herself! I tend to think it is learned behaviour and the child who is the bully is most likely being bullied him/herself. I know it sounds cliche but praying for him and having your precious one start to pray for him to and walking her through forgiveness can lead to some powerful stuff....if not in the little boys life it will be in hers!Lala's worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14888227099123265114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20895358.post-91638617967132424892010-02-06T13:34:50.941-05:002010-02-06T13:34:50.941-05:00Hi, From what I understand, little boys do such th...Hi, From what I understand, little boys do such things when they like a little girl, hitting and so on.

It's good that Princess is there to protect cutie pie - she's not alone and Princess is an "older kid". I don't take bullying lightly. The problem is, the kid may be told not to bully but he can certainly do it when the teacher is not looking, like out in the playground, etc. My boss' kid was bullied and despite numerous discussions with the Principal, he finally had to pull his kid from school and is now home schooling. I don't think that is a solution. I'd push the issue with having a meeting with the Principal to "discuss" the school's bullying policy. This would put the sense of urgency in the teacher, if she's too busy to deal with it. Of course, we never want to make the teacher upset that we "don't trust" her. So, I'd play the "really worried" mom and request for a meeting with the Principal, with words like "trust the teacher", but "I'm so worried" - you know the drill. I wasn't really "joking" when I said "befriend the kid's mom". If I find that the mom have no influence over the child, then it's WAR. Otherwise, it may be more effective to talk directly with the mom - in addition to talking to the Principal. Or just have Cutie Pie punch his lights out like I know she can!! (OK that last statement was not very "turn the other cheek" type statement - sorry - i had to vent).MamaBEarhttp://arjacobson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20895358.post-34169908111050730362010-02-05T12:49:46.891-05:002010-02-05T12:49:46.891-05:00I never ran into this problem when my boys were in...I never ran into this problem when my boys were in school, so I'm not sure that I can offer you any advise. I do think that I will pass this one along and see if there is anyone else out there that can give you some advise.<br />Great blog article.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13062759943925378486noreply@blogger.com
