Mean Things KIds Say

[imabitweird]

So my 6 year old who happens to love school....no longer likes his favorite treat. He really loves chocolate covered granola bars and this morning when I pack it in his lunch he says he doesnt want it. I asked why he said that at school yesterday when he bit it the kids laughed at him and said "ewwww he's eating poop!".  So now my ds doesnt want me to pack them anymore :-(...I dont know what to do. I dont know what to say...

I know this is pretty minor, but sometimes minor teasing esculates. Do you ladies have any stories to share? I would love to hear your thoughts and input.

Id tell him to take it, mush it upall nasty in his mouth, let it dribble oout the sides of his mouth (make it as gross as poss) and make yummmyummm,, omg this is great poop! Noises!

Take the fun out of it for the bullies!

My brother used to tell my sister that baked beans were maggots in tomato sauce

and when she refused to eat them he would eat hers too

When I was little, my cousin told me that if I ate watermelon seeds I would get diabetes.  I got all scared because by mistake, I ate a seed!  Idid not eat  watermelon until I was older and knew better.

Just explain to him that kids are gonna say mean things to try and hurt him. He can let it bother him or learn to ignore them.  This is one of those teachable moments to talk to him about being who he is and about what a real friend is and about what a bully is. Good luck.

Kids say this things,my son loves his carrots and other veggies for a snack,but his classmates call him either a veggieburger(for real) or a rabbit anything to hurt his feelings!!

But he says he snacks on what he likes and its healthy.
