Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy 5yo being mocked: how to deal with it?

I get boys in here all the time that think they're tough and delight in making the other kids uncomfortable. Problem is, it doesn't work here. My kids are all immune. They have their own stories and could care less.

With most boys this age, I've found that if they can't intimidate you, they give up. If it was me I'd comment on their lack of manners and how big they must feel picking on a little kid. Make them feel like idiots. But like Kriston, i'm not known for keeping my mouth shut!
