The Cut
I have a very sensitive, sweet, shy 6-year-old who sometimes struggles with standing up for himself. When my kids were toddlers it was very easy for me to jump in and intervene if another kid was being a jerk at the playground. But now that my oldest is in school I can’t be there to help in the same way. I’ve recently learned that there’s a kid in my son’s class, who is also a neighbor, who’s been picking on him, including getting physical at times. It’s very clearly affecting my son’s mood and how he feels about school.
