Ds is suffering some low level teasing about his glasses and other silly name-calling at school. He's 6 and in Yr1.
I've spoken to school about it and they're very good but it seems to be still happening. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this at this early stage? I really want to nip it in the bud as soon as possible by teaching ds the right strategies to deal with it at this stage without it escalating to anything more serious in later years.
He's always been a fairly laid-back confident boy, and seems to be quite popular amongst his classmates, but I think he can take things to heart so a couple of silly comments have knocked his confidence & I've seen a change in him recently.
Without wanting to encourage him to retaliate, I do think he needs to toughen up and learn to stick up for himself. Any advice on how to do that calmly? I know the school will speak to the child concerned but ideally I want the child concerned to realise that ds isn't worth picking on.
