You should talk to the teachers. If they have an open door policy, go in and see what goes on. Find out if you can, when this kid picks on yours. Is it during class? Recess? Then ask for more supervision. Demand it. Let them know what is going on. Make sure they know you will not tolerate it, at all. If the problem persists, then talk to the principals. They need to inform you anytime, if your child is hurt. Let them know you want your child to be in a safe, supervised, environment. Especially since these schools have a “no tolerance” for bullying. Call the school board. Even if you suspect anything, it’s better to act on it, then do nothing at all. Your little one, like mine, doesn’t comprehend the impact it will have later in life, or to deal with a bully at such a young age. I am going through the same thing, and it’s horrible. But you need to protect your child, or they won’t be heard.

I know this was a couple of years ago but can you tell me what you did about the bullying?

My Son started at school in September and has been doing great for the most part. He has been excited to be there and has being doing very well with the work. Over the past few weeks though his interest in being there has been waining. He has said that another boy has been hurting him almost daily. This morning, for the first time he was saying that he didn’t want to go. The first thing he said this morning was “I can’t go to school today. My mouth is sore.” Obviously we checked him out. His mouth was fine. To cut the story short we found that he didn’t want to go because he was afraid of being hurt by the other boy.

He had started off by having a motivating and positive expierience with school and I don’t want this to be ruined when he has barely started.

I am experiencing the same problem. My daughter had started school, now through 3 months and the bullying has not stopped. The first incident: my daughter was excited for school, wore her pretty jewelry, she came home with scratches, one where her ring was (now gone), one where her bracelet was (now gone), and a few on her face, where the bully was trying to take her headband. Another incident she got pushed and fell on her face and was taken to the office to get ice. Last incident was she was on the slide and got punched in the eye and pushed down. I have addressed the concern before the last incident and the teacher said “oh we will keep a good eye on her” well the next time I went to go pick her up, I received a phone call from the vp, he told me he was going to come talk to me. He then told me about the last incident and while he was telling me, the bully’s mother was beside me. He said they were going to keep a good eye on this and the next action would be to separate them. Why wait for another time for my daughter to get hurt. She is 4 years old and getting bullied from a kid in her class that is much bigger and was even held back in jk. I am so disgusted with this whole situation. I don’t even know what to do. It’s so unfair to my daughter to take her out of school. No disciplinary action has taken place. The mother cannot even acknowledge the problem. I am sick of getting the run around.

God I hate bullies.
