Over the past few weeks our 6yo has started to become a bit more self-aware about himself, calling himself "Dumb" and a "Loser". We feel this has clearly come from the playground as we don't use that sort of language at home and highly unlikely.
We will talk to the school about this but it's clear that playgrounds can be pretty unfair places at the best of times, so it's clearly limited on what they can do.
My partner and I have decided that the best way to approach this is to try and explain to them how they are different and how other children won't understand that yet so they can be mean, has anyone had to deal with this before and how did they approach the subject?
