re: OT dads, how do you deal with bullying?

Use any or all of the following options:

1. Restrict your son's access to social media sites.

2. Screenshot the offensive social media messages and show them to the principal. Bullying is a major buzzword in education right now, and principals WILL respond out of necessity.

3. Drive over to the kid's house and speak to the dad (in the unlikely event he even has one who lives at home with him).

4. Enroll your kid in judo or jiu-jitsu to gain self-confidence, as well as to kick the other kid's arse if it comes down to it.
