What do you say to help when children make fun of other children?
February 7th, 2010 | 
Author: Some kid are making fun of my son’s name (Mason). They call him Maddison and Mayonaisse. What can I say to my son to make his hurt feelings go away. The teacher knows about the name calling.
Try having the name Silver.
My comeback was "Is that the best you can do?"
Sad to say, I’m almost 30 and I still have to say that line. But at this age, it shows how mature they are not!!!

If he gets his feelings hurt that easily then he needs some toughening up.

i have the same problem except my son is overweight. but he tells the other kids. at least he is healthy. your son will get sick of it and tell them off. but i think if he ignores them , they will stop

Either laugh with them or ignore it…because the more he shows that it bothers him…..the kids will do it more…..
when I say laugh with them….wow I hadn’t thought about that…my name is able to make more…my son is Chris and they called him Chrissy for years….he just blew it off….and boy did he want me to stay out of it…
however if the teacher hears it she can take care of it on her level too.
best wishes….and trust me the name calling will subside…

The teacher knows?!? And I suppose she says nothing. Poor little guy. Just let your son know that God has special people for everything. And he was chosen to carry a honorable name and give him the meaning. Find some famous people who have the name. Have a name celebration party. You have to make him feel like his name is important. Dummy up a call from his favorite TV star or something. We got to help this little fella out!

Call the school or tell your son to just ignore them and not let it get to him. There could be worse things in life. If he lets things get to him easily, he’ll have a miserable life. Tell him to laugh at it or just ignore it. If he does that, he’ll get through it and more and more people will notice what jerks they are for making fun of him and they will be disliked once they get into Middle School or High School. I was made fun of alot too. =]

Kids do that. Fact of life. I say completely ignore it, except for telling your son that "Kids do that", and to completely ignore it.

Bottom line when one kid needs to make fun of another, the one making fun is in serious need of ego building up. He makes fun of others because he himself feels so bad about who he or she is, that they need to make someone else feel bad – because it tears them apart that the other person is loved, cared about, and are jealous of them and need to try and tear down the person who is loved and cared about

It will pass, don’t over react to it because it’s part of life learning how to deal with other people. The answer is not always to have an adult fix it. Show him the movie with Mason Storm kickin ass and taking names, can’t remember the name of the movie.

kids will always be like that so forget about it and it will subside and namecalling wouldn’t hurt your kid so let it be.
if you want to be more drastic buy your son a trained dog and name it with his name then trained the dog whenever his name is called to go for the caller, just to scare them.

As much as it sucks, kids will be kids. Whether your son is overweight, wears glasses, whines, has a "weird" name, other kids are always going to find something wrong with someone. And everyone is made fun of by at least one thing. There isn’t anything that you can really do about it. All you can do is make sure that your son knows that he has family and friends who loves him very much. You can also teach him to ignore the people. It’s better than him starting a fight with someone.
Once kids get out of high school, most of them seem to mature more.
Teachers can’t do anything either. That’s the problem nowadays, and kids know that very well.
If you’re a christian, you can also let him know that reguardless, God loves him also. All he needs is God, Family, and Friends.
Good luck.

just tell him to go up to the kids and say … " i’m sorry about your mother…. but it wasn’t my fault…. the bumper sticker told me to save the whales and harpoon a fat chick"
