HELP!! My 7 year old son is "diffenent" than other kids and gets picked on!? |
My son was identified as gifted in his kinergarten year of school. He never had a problem with other kids before because they were so young and at that age everyone pretty much likes everyone else, however now that he is going to second grade I notice he is getting teased by neighborhood kids. My son's idea of a good time is not playing in the dirt or riding bikes but he would much rather go exploring with his metal detector or read his books and draw, lol...I love him so much and Im so proud of him but it hurts so much that he gets made fun of already in his life for being the way he is. I really need suggestions on how to handle this and what to say to him to keep his self esteem up and let him know he is perfect the way he is. Thanks for any advice Children can be cruel. My son was the same as yours. And I taught him to take care of himself. Alot of the older boys always picked on him. But I taught him not to take any crap. He learned, and they learned to leave him alone. There is nothing wrong with him exploring with his metal detector or reading books, I think that is great. He will change as he gets older and then you may of wish he had stayed with his books and things. You're doing right, just keep telling him how proud you are of him and how much you love him. Stick by him with what ever he wants to do. You never know, he could find some riches some day with that metal detector, write his own book, or even be an artist. Stand by him. Teach your son to stand up to those kids. Lots of people were mean to my friend but now she has learned to tell them off. I would suggest home-schooling him GREAT way Just keep doing what you are doing and if need be, perhaps he might like to do some "karate" classes. These classes are a great self-esteem booster. tell him that is that the other kids are just jealous. they probably are. they're only trying to bring him down. tell him not to let it bother him. and if any kids tease him, he should feel sorry for them, because they have to make fun of him to feel better about themselves. he is much better than they are and he doesn't have to make fun of anyone else to be the better person he is. hope this helps. Just because your son is gifted doesnt mean he shouldn't ride bikes and play sports. That metal detector and reading isnt giving him any exercise!!! Encourage him to join the other children in thier activities!! Show him he can be smart and be a "real" boy too. You might not like this idea but it certainly worked for me when I was being picked on. When I was 8, I was smaller than most of the kids in the neighborhood. I would be picked on constantly by kids my age and a little older. My mother wanted to keep me inside, to keep me from be teased and beaten up. One day my older cousin came to visit, he was like 15. We hung outside and when one of the kids that picked on me came around, my cousin told him and a few others if they ever picked on me again, he would beat them up! I know this is wrong but it certainly worked. After that no one teased me any more. |
