We've never had physical bullying, but I ...Oy. We've never had physical bullying, but I have a daughter who's been picked on girl-style, and I wanted to wring those girls' necks. <br /><br />On the other hand, my kids do carpool, not busing, and I have definitely seen my older son's physicality on the way home. I actually had to drop out of our carpool and drive every day so he wouldn't have to sit next to anyone, because he couldn't handle an accidental elbow at the end of a full school day. The closed in feeling when he was finally free made him kick seats and shove people out of his space.<br /><br />And my son is a really good kid in school- not a single complaint, ba"h, about negative or physical behavior. In fact, he'd rather do legos than run around. So I don't know the answer. I teach them to run, but if they can't, to fight back enough so they can run.<br /><br />Mom's are supposed to protect their kids like that. You'd do the mommy-equivalent of a beating and go at the issue from all angles until it's died a final death.Staying Afloathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228636990839399469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665385599853681934.post-16568089852062281612010-02-18T18:05:43.231-05:002010-02-18T18:05:43.231-05:00My heart breaks for you.

I'd rather my son learn how to punch that bully in the nose, and not miss, versus taking the bludgeoning and dealing with it later by snitching. Is that the right move?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665385599853681934.post-35542298049672954672010-02-18T13:00:44.787-05:002010-02-18T13:00:44.787-05:00I agree with halfshared.

Almost like they have been suppressed all day, and that's where the rotten ones can let their aggressions out. And the schools have a "boys will be boys" attitude, and don't want to deal with it. I remember once on my son's bus, one boy told another boy a dirty joke. The menahel went ape shit, and whole "investigation" ensued. A lousy "tushie" joke, THAT they care about. A sweet little boy had his head stepped on? What else is new?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665385599853681934.post-47162406841490193202010-02-18T12:18:46.395-05:002010-02-18T12:18:46.395-05:00This post reminds me of Jodi Picoult's book, N...This post reminds me of Jodi Picoult's book, Nineteen Minutes. I'yh you won't let it get nearly as bad as it does in the book but bullying is dangerous and cruel and needs to be nipped in the bud.<br />You sound like a really good mother, not a tiger :-).halfsharedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897983346646333294noreply@blogger.com
