My DS is in reception class and up until recently has been loving and thriving at school. Has seems to have quite a few friends and is sociable during the school day. He plays with 2 boys in particular, both of whom have been to our house in play dates and whose mothers I get on well with.
Recently one of these friends has been saying mean things to DS along the lines of 'I'm not your best friend' etc etc, all fairly typical and which DS seemed to brush off easily. I'm sure that he says his fair share of this type of comment too, he's no angel.
However, the last couple of weeks there have been 3 incidents at school with this child. The first, he bit my DS on the arm apparently because my DS didn't do what he wanted at playtime. The teacher informed me at pick up time. Last week the same child stuck a craft wire up DS's nose and caused a nosebleed. DS has been noticeably more quiet the last few weeks and seems upset when I pick him up. He commonly says that the other boy has said or done things which aren't very friendly.
On wed I spoke to the teacher after school and voiced my concerns. Se reassured me that they would keep an eye out and that it was probably due to being overtired at the end of term. I was most concerned about DSs change of mood.
Today, my DS has a large and deep scratch on his face, done by the other boy and the teacher spoke to me again. She reassured me that the other child had been seriously talked to but I am worried about this situation.
I'd be grateful for any advice.
Oh yes, I have organised for both boys to come to the park during half term to try and repair their friendship.
