Ds came home yesterday in a rotten mood he is aged 11 in senior school.
Apparently some of the boys had been playing a game which would involve punching each other.
It turns out that one lad now keeps punching ds in the arm really hard and ds says it is hurting him.
Ds was hysterical at all of my suggestions such as tell him to stop I don,t like this game anymore, tell the teacher, etc. Ds was very aggresive with me and was screaming at me to tell the head of year.
However my concerns are he is in senior school perhaps he is overreacting and he needs to fight his own corner, maybe it will make things worse if I speak to the head of year, maybe my ds needs to toughen up and I don,t want to baby him now he is in secondary.
How the hell does one know when they should intervene or not please.
What would you do.
