Hi Mr. M
XX (my son, 3rd grader) has been compalining about issues between him and classmates YY and ZZ. I had been treating all the episodes as common childhood "fights" in the pase, and encouraged him to play with other friends more to "cool down" the situation. However, he started to compalin that the boys followed him during the recess, watched him playing with a girl, and went about to tell everybody that "XX has a girl friend". I do not think the boys meant to hurt his feeling, but do feel this would lead to teasing and bully.
Kids do have different prospect of things. What XX told me might not be exactly happened. I would like to seek your opinion and advice,
Thanks,
