 Hi Jennifer, I know how upsetting things like that can be as we had to deal with that when my son was in school too. Know what we finally did? We gave him Karate lessons! That developed his strength and self-confidence and then the other boys stopped being so mean. After that he knew how to defend himself. Even now as a grown man, he is glad he knows Karate. Of course, verbal bullying is worse to contend with, I believe. Another idea is to invite the boys over for a cook-out and play games or do a scavenger hunt. In other words, "kill'em with kindness" and see if they will learn to get along and respect each other better. This has to be stopped though, as your grandson's self-esteem is suffering causing depression. I will certainly be praying for him .. and you. One good thing, those years don't last forever and it will all be forgotten some day. When I finally got my last one out of school, I was so happy I said the graduation party was for me!!!  Sending big hugs your way, Monette   |
