Name changed for this post:
Just had a call from the head teacher of ds school. He's 7. They've had a complaint from a parent that ds 'attacked' (actual word used) their child. Apparently their son was teasing ds and he lashed out. He really doesn't cope with being wound up, but I'm not excusing ds in any way. I'm aware that his reaction is totally unacceptable and it is something we're working on with him. Thing is we're friends with the parents of this boy and while I appreciate it being a school matter to be dealt with in school I would have thought they'd at least send us a text to let us know so we weren't so entirely unprepared.
Ds was telling me last week that this other boy and his brother have been telling him and other kids to give them money for them to be friends with them. I told ds that they were very naughty and under no circumstances to give them any money, and that if they asked again to tell the teacher. I didn't report it as I thought I'd mention it to the boys' mother when I saw her. Now I'm wondering whether the behaviour of these other boys is having a deeper effect and if there are other things going on I don't know about, especially if this incident was a result of being teased. If I tell the school now won't it look a bit like I'm pointing the finger to try to exonerate ds? I was thinking of writing a letter to the head.
