So my 4 year old is at nursery ( school / nursery ) so the reception class and his class mix together for alot of activities.
About 6 months ago my son started coming home talking about a little boy called James who was naughty , when I asked what he would do he’d just say stuff like “ draw on my work , he doesn’t listen , won’t sit on the carpet “ basic stuff.
It started to become a lot more frequent and then right before we was about to go on holiday in may he said he didn’t want to go to school because James was mean - I should’ve mentioned it to the school then but we was going away the next day and it completely slipped my mind as he wasn’t back in for a few weeks )
So we get back of holiday and when he comes home he’s upset , like crying upset about something James had done ( I can’t remember of the top of my head what it was now ) he also then told me how he’d taken some of his lunch and a drink cup that we thought had been lost at school he said James had took.
So the next day I took him to school ( it’s usually dad ) and I spoke to the teachers who said they’d keep a better eye on them now they know and try to keep them separated where they can ( we also got the cup back the next day so I imagine they spoke to James mum possibly )
My son come home yesterday and when his dad dropped him off he said he had to sign a form as James had pushed milo off a tunnel and he had a big bruise on the bottom center of his back.
What do I do here ? Do I just keep going to the school and ask them to keep a better eye again ? I understand they’re not the only children so I’m just a big stuck I don’t want to tell my son to push him away but is that the best thing ? I don’t want him thinking he just had to keep taking it on the chin when it’s really upsetting him
He’s so sensitive, it took us 3 months just to get him to be able to stay in nursery I used to have to drop him off anf go wait in the office as he’d made him self continuously sick crying for me. I don’t want to it to get to a stage he doesn’t want to go to school anymore
- also I know they’re 4 and James could just be super boystruss ? And that’s too much for my son I don’t know , and James mother isn’t there and he’s 4 so I don’t feel like going to her would do much help ethire ?

I'd speak to the school again and maybe meet with the parents too. Would organising a play date be possible? Maybe having them build a friendship would help and guiding how they play and interact with each other?
