This is about my friend's son, he is 10 years old, let's call him Henry. Henry was playing outside during school hour with the rest of his class and saw another kid fell from monkey bar and cried.
Henry said to the kid "Stop crying like a baby". Henry's mum got called to principal office because Henry's behaviour considered bullying. Henry's mum disagreed, however she is not a confrontational person and wants to maintain good relationship with school and principal so she said she is going to talk to Henry.
She asked for my opinion and I agreed with her about the behaviour not considered bullying.
What's your opinion, if you are Henry's mum or dad, how do you handle the principal.
If you think Henry's behaviour considered bullying, why?
Thanks in advance for your input.
@CommuterPolluter: How am I pathologising the kid? I'm saying I think he learnt it from his parents.
