This is a genuine question.

I think I give my son the support and nurturing that he needs, but in recent weeks, as a 6 year old, he’s been getting picked on at school - mentally more than physically (although he has come back with a few proper bruises).

He’s more into playing with the girls and doesn’t like football etc so he doesn’t naturally fit in with the boys but his teacher has told my wife today that he probably needs to work on his social skills.

It is evident that he stands up for himself but it appears that one kid in his class is ringleader with another six or so kids getting involved as and when. Frankly, the sort of thing I’d expect to see in secondary school.

Aside from forcing him to watch football etc, I’d be interested in some practical views on how to help here. My thoughts are going down like a lead balloon with my Wife!
