My son is 10 years old, but he is constantly being attacked by a very undisciplined 4 year old boy. My son can defend himself, but we never wanted him to be seen punching or hitting a child half his size! Yet, this little boy is now in karate classes and can punch and kick with skill and it hurts. Now, he is biting other children, making up lies about other children, and telling his grandparents, who bring him to church and have care of him most of the time, never works. They either ignore the behavior or scold him verbally, which hasn't stopped his behavior yet. It is only getting much worse. What do I do?
Where is this happening? If it at church, school, daycare, inform them that you expect them to protect your child against abuse and that includes from the other children. The child is a bully and most states have bully laws now. Are any other children being physically asaulted by this boy? Talk to those parents.
If the child continues with the violent behaivor you may need to notify childrens services. He may have emotional issues and he will need help.
If the parents and grandparents won't do anything about it, go to his karate instructor for help, seeing he/she is the one that has been teaching him. If they refuse, they could get fired. Always go after the source of the main cruelty teacher.
inform the info to the the 4yr oldz parents!
