re: Uhh NO!

Quoting .:Stacy Renee:.:" My daughter is in kindergarten & according to her, she has 3 boyfriends. I think it's cute. They ... [snip!] ... couldn't even say the word 'boyfriend' around her without her bursting into tears. That, IMO, is taking away their innocence. "

SO asked DD the other day if she had a boyfriend at daycare and she said, "daaaad that's silly, you're my boyfriend!" bahaha

That is too cute!

Okay. i'm not going to argue with anyone. I want my son to enjoy school and not have some little girl hounding him to be her boyfriend. So i will let it go but if my son comes home tomorrow and says something about her being mean to him again i will say something to the teacher.
Have a goodnight everyone!

I think that once kids start school they need guidance from their parents, not someone who will jump in and fight their battles. There is a certain point when you need to step in, but this is not it. If he's coming home saying kids are teasing him or whatever, tell him what to do and how to respond. That is a lesson he needs to learn, and I think it's really important at this age... You think he's being made fun of now at 4? Wait for 10 years from now when someone calls him a name and he comes home crying, only for you to go into the school to deal with it and have him made fun of worse...

This. Teach him how to handle conflict, OP. Don't helicopter over him and fix it for him.

When he is older he will be able to deal with it but i feel like it is my place as his mother to make sure he is not being teased because he is only 4 and doesnt know how to stand up for himself 100% yet.

Then you need to be TEACHING him to stand up for himself. How's he going to learn when you do it for him??

How will he be able to deal with it if you won't teach him how? Of course he can't fully stand up for himself yet but I hardly think that little girl is trying to hurt him either.

He will never learn if you just keep jumping in and doing it for him. He's 4. Time to learn how to do things for himself.
