Q:
I have witnessed how other boys would treat my boy rudely in an after school facility. Is it okay to step in? How?
I have a daughter who attends a preschool that runs an after school facility for 2 boys with 2 children of the owner. All 4 boys attend same elementary public school as my son. For short they know each other, but they're a year older than him. For some time, they were playing nicely when my son comes by while waiting for me to pick up his sister. Recently I noticed that they were treating him rudely such as not letting him play with them by running away from him/locking door to leave him out of the room/telling him his not part of family. The elusiveness looks like they're allergic to him. He took it meanly and has cried about it. I told him to let the director (who is the mom of 2 boys) know. He did, but seems like not helping much. What should I do? Is it time to step in? How? and what should I say? Please help.
