Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Is what a five year old told me about my son Sully (8 yo). See Tysen (the 5 yo) has an Uncle that is Sully's age. Adam is in Sully's class and I thought that they got along well until Tysen tells me that Adam was laughing about how gullible Sully can be. Ok I know this is coming from a 5 y o but it still hurts to hear it. What is Adam doing to my son anyway that would make him call Sully gullible. And here I was thinking he integrated well with his peers. Nothing like a reality check from a 5 yo. CHRIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Are either one of them aware of what the word " gullible " means. I've had kids tell me things and when asked what does " blah " mean, they tell you something completely incorrect. debbi he is so gullible Is what a five year old told me about my son Sully (8 yo).

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 well I don't know if Tysen knows what that means but Adam does. So if Adam was laughing about Sully being gullible he knew what he was saying even if Tysen did not. I told Tysen that sometimes kids like to tease Sully by getting him to believe things and th at wasn't very nice. Tysen is a good kid. Adam is a bit of a handful he already has issues but just the fact t hat some kids see Sully that was is upsetting to me.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Yeah I am going to email her right now expressing my concerns she is great really and she did mention that she wanted to see that they get separated next year. I think most kids so far accept Sully for who he is but their is always someone. I know my kid is a little weird (and I mean that in a loving way) he just acts a bit differently from his peers but he is kind and they like him for t hat I hate thinking of one of his classmates taking advantage of him. Im going to obsess about this now! Do you have a good relationship with Sully's teacher? If this was , I'd ask his teacher to watch and see what the other kids are doing to take advantage of 'd literal mind and casting him as gullible. The recess monitors, too. Can you do this?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 How does a 5 yr old even know what gullible means?? I wish I could think of a way for you to find out what they are doing at school. Maybe have the teacher keep an eye out for when the other child is with Sulley?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 well the 5 yo was just repeating what the 8 yo was saying so the point isn't so much if the 5 yo knows w hat it means but more that the 8 year old said it and he does know what it means.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Bleech! But kids say that stuff all the time. But bleech all the same.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Oh this is heartbreaking. I don't think most 5 year olds know that word (I'm surprised an 8 y/o does) it's concerning that they know it and they know how to use it appropriately. (unless they are misapplying the word, doubtful) I think I would try to spy on this situation somehow if I could. Does Adam come over to play? I think some adult must have taught them this word and how to tease someone and then say that the person is gullible. What does Sully say about these boys? ~ Karin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Sully likes Adam Sully likes almost anyone I mean he is n ot social but he always assumes the best of someone. I did email the teacher and told her that I would like a watch be kept on the situation. Hopefully they will take me seriously. Chris Re: he is so gullible Oh this is heartbreaking.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Odd that a five year old would call someone gullible. Does the five year old have older siblings who might have called him that and he is looking for somewhere else to stick that particular label?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 See the five year old is lives in the same house with eight yo Uncle. It was the older boy who called Sully gullible Tysen was just repeated the story. I did get in touch with the teacher and she has been having some concerns as well about how Sully takes things and how Adam uses Sully Re: he is so gullible Odd that a five year old would call someone gullible.
