Jakob had his first camp of the summer this past week. The class was all about Dinosaurs. He made a costume, an egg and learned a fun song. He also made a fossil and went dinosaur egg hunting on Friday. He loved the class.
He struggled with leaving me for the first day of class. We aren't sure if the move is adding stress or if he is trying to deal with mean kids. We had an incident in one of his music classes with a bully and how he should deal with mean kids. He is now fearful of encountering another bully and we hope we have provided him the tools to make the situation right.
Our rules: 1. Tell the kid to stop doing what he's doing and that you don't like it. 2. Tell the teacher or adult what is going on. 3. If he does it again - kick his ass. (really we just told him to push the kid away and let it be known he doesn't want anything to do with him) It was very hard for me to come to this decision, however after watching the mean kid in music I was ready to push him down and kick his ass. It is very hard watching Jakob trying to be nice to mean kids. I want him to stand up for himself and there is a fine line to being too nice or being a mean kid. Any ideas?
