- Go to I haven't had time to post, I am so flat out looking at how to deal with
Thanks for your wonderful support
Yes I am busy looking into the issue. It is hard for kids any age to deal with negative comments.

We all look in the mirror at times and call ourselves bad names...
Your boy may have done something to embarrass himself at school, we all do it, and of course kids are like killer sharks. What if you got him to pick out a phrase and repeat it to himself as an affirmation -- something simple like "you can do it if you try," or "you're getting better every day," could that help? Good luck.

Identify the source
Hi, Norwood - I'm back from my trip and back at blogit. I would try to identify the source of those comments made to your son. He is parroting them from somewhere. Is there a teacher at the school that you trust? Then, I'd try to enlist faculty or administration to address the issue. If left to go on, it could really be damaging.

It is difficult to build them up. I have a son who just did not fit in because he was a loner. He was so misunderstood. I would find the things that make your son happy and continue to build. I did that with my son, even though it was a long road he is a wonderful young and yours will be as well. sam
