Let it go but tell your kid if someone hits him or hurts him to tell the teacher. He has to learn how to handle himself. I know it worries you, but if it gets worse, I'd call the kids parent.

Call the school and find out how they are handling it. Did your son get hurt in the process? Have you talked to your son to find out why the kid threw the ball in the first place? Is this kid just a bully? There are many reasons kids do things. Maybe your son was taunting this kid and egging him on. Or maybe These two are having relationship problems already. You need to investigate first get your facts straight. Make sure you hear all sides before acting on this. Many parents automatically think their child is the angel and the other kid is the brat. We parents have a tendency of wanting to protect our kids from everything out in the world. We turn a little kid fight into a war that can last through all their school years instead we should be trying to figure out why they do not get along and teach them how to work past this. Do you realize that most kids who do not get along in school is because they are so very much alike they feel they have to compete?You also neglected to say how old your child is, there is big difference between kindergarteners and 12yr olds. PlusYou have already formed an opinion about the other child just by saying "this Kid" And "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt you" only if you let them hurt you. Try to detach yourself from the situation if this were just two children in the neighborhood, if you had been there to see the whole thing go down what would you have said or done?

You should probably wait it out and see if it happens again because more likely than not they have playground aides (which i am at a elementary school) and your child probably told the aide and his teacher. If it becomes an issue of bullying verses everyday kid stuff than you should address his teacher and see what she/he has done about the situation. I hope this helps.
Good luck friend

I agree with Stacy R. Kids need to learn how to deal with real life situations, but obviously if it escallates then the parents should be contacted. Schools only have so much control. Go right to the source.

Talk to the school administration. You might suggest that they institute an anti-bullying program. Our schools have this, and it seems to work well. Kids who bully get a sticker in their agenda book, and the parents must sign the book. Each term there is a "peace party", and anyone without a bully sticker can attend.

There are many good suggestions posted. Now for my 2 cents. Teach your child how to stand up for his/herself. Instill the wisdom when to shake it off and ignore someone, or when to stand your ground. Yes, there are anti-bullying programs, reporting it to the teacher, and talking to the parents. (All great options) But when that child grows up and is out in the "real world" they need to know how to handle real life. And real life isn't always fair. So teach your child early to have a "tough hide." Yes it sounds callous, but do you want a child who can shrug off anything that comes their way, or a child that cries every time someone looks at them wrong. I see too many children who don't know how to handle everyday situations because their parents don't want to let the child stand on their own 2 feet. And when that child stands on their own 2 feet they will fall at times! The lesson is teaching the child to get back up.

I'd ask to have a talk with the teacher and have the parent of the other child there as well. that way both sides of the story can be heard

Go talk to the principle at the school. Then maybe you should talk to that kids parents as well.
