He's a 6th grader. Not only is he one of the younger kids, but he is - by far - the smallest kid out of everyone, due to his nutritional history.<BR/><BR/>So, when he is with the "big kids" he is completely out of control and comfort mode. There is no one to bully. In fact, I know he looks around and realizes that he, in fact, is the most vulnerable kid in the whole room. <BR/> <BR/>The first week was awful (ya' know - at home - he let us pay for it). This week was better. The older kids are very kind and encouraging. I think he expected to have to defend himself constantly. Right now he's in a "What the heck?" stage - trying to accept that he can actually feel safe there. <BR/><BR/>And quietly I enjoy the fact that he is in a place where he can't use his RAD Tools-o-Safety. He is just having to learn to either survive or trust. Period. <BR/><BR/>Well, that, and I don't have to worry about him bullying anyone during those times. It's like vacation! ha!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07276000726366302069noreply@blogger.com
