Our son goes to a charter school of less than 50 children over eight grades.
He's in first grade, but is in second reading/spelling and third math.
There's a girl in first grade that he likes to play with that the boys in first and second grade give him a hard time about being interested in.
She is delayed, to be honest. She and her sister are both in lower than grade classes.
My son loves her. She is a good friend and he likes to play with her and is proud to bring home pictures she draws for him.
However, he tells me (with a tearful voice), that the "guys" make fun of him for liking _____. They say he's crazy. (With the accompanying swirling motion around the ear.)
I'd like to know if your child is one to befriend those who are not the "darlings" of the class. How do you respond to the bullying of them and their friend?
