I hope it is sorted now and you have no further problems. Hugs to you and your daughter xx I hope my son listens its hard for little ones to see that the way they deal with a situation has an effect on everything isn't it xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09115867384994231717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182070173188665602.post-88188922058224345332016-01-16T08:25:25.939-08:002016-01-16T08:25:25.939-08:00I'm glad I could help a little. It's hard...I'm glad I could help a little. It's hard to think straight when it's your kids. My daughter was involved with a situation in one of her classes just this week and I was ready to go to the school and raise hell with the principal and threaten to call the cops if it became worse. No calm and collected response here, lol. I'd probably be the one getting in trouble for hitting back. But it's true that the best stress advice I have read (but not always practiced) is that we can't always control others but we can always control how we respond.<br /><br />Good luck with everything and hugs to all of you!Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654610295436446555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182070173188665602.post-43157815609731879902016-01-16T07:25:52.844-08:002016-01-16T07:25:52.844-08:00Thanks Nathalie, sometimes I can't see the woo...Thanks Nathalie, sometimes I can't see the wood for the trees with situation. I get so angry and caught up with it that I don't think I handle it very well. Reading your advise really hit home with me and you are completely right. I used to have a reward plan a year ago when my son used to hide in the toilet to stop him from doing that. <br /><br />This morning I had a chat with him and said everything that you suggested to him and discussed starting a reward plan, his choice of reward is to go with me to Costa for a coke. <br /><br />You are also right about his sensitivity which I think is why they target him because they know they will get a reaction from him if he didn't react I'm sure they would get bored. I have spoken to a few people about counselling and one of my friends daughters has gone to a place called kids inspire and they do a twelve week plan with a child so I am going to give them a call. We don't have counselling attached to schools here.<br />Thank you so much for your help. You are such a good friend xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09115867384994231717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182070173188665602.post-25111989822781837802016-01-15T16:33:32.196-08:002016-01-15T16:33:32.196-08:00Those are incredible deals, Tara, well done.
My h...Those are incredible deals, Tara, well done.<br /><br />My heart aches for your little boy. I guess I would explain to him that life isn't fair, but that his job is to not get in trouble at school because, in the end, it reflects badly on him (even as unfair as it sounds) and makes you feel bad too. Maybe you can start a reward system so he gets something if he keeps his cool? Explain to him that he needs to walk away from the problem makers and that people who say such cruel things as what they have told him are children who are themselves miserable and haven't found another way to make themselves feel better than to try to make others miserable too. It is HIS choice to decide whether to give them the power to hurt his feelings, or not. Is there a counselor that he can see to help him with his self-esteem problems? I absolutely understand that he is being bullied, but he also seems like a very sensitive boy and it sounds like he needs coping mechanisms to deal with those situations when life looks very unfair, but it doesn't mean that you can lash back. Do you know what I mean? Hugs to you both. Stay away from the chocolate. (yes I'm a hypocrite!)Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654610295436446555noreply@blogger.com
