Harrison had a run-in with some 6-year old bullies on the playground yesterday when he was with Grandma. He wanted to hang out and was following them around trying to engage them in play, and they started calling him "Poopyhead" "Toilethead" and "Diaperbaby."
[I had to suppress my smirk and laughter a bit when he was recounting these insults.]
He reported the verbal abuse to Grandma and she chastised the boys in her teacherly way, but I wonder if she should have let him fight his own battle on this one. What's the protocol here?
Poor Buddy. I want to squirrel him away and protect him from the nasty bits of the world, including mean 6-year olds.

oh no! poor bubberson! i typically let emma, and even kal, deal with it on her own, unless it gets physical. i usually just give em suggestions on how to deal with it when she comes to tell me anything that has happened. it's insanely hard, because i typically want to smack the bullies upside their little heads. pppbbbfffttt!
