My DS is about to turn 7 .
He has now had several incidents with a boy from school. last year they were in the same class together and had the same little group of friends.
This boy however told my son to do some bad behavior like wee on the toilet floors and he also told him to lick the toilets. Both of these things my son did.
Now I know my son should have said no and walked away but for some reason he didn't. He cant explain why.
Any way this year they are not in the same class and it appears my son has little to do with him in the playground . In fact my DS struggles to make and keep friends.
Then last week we had a catch up with a group of Mum;s who have become friends through the school. The kids were all playing nicely until my DS came running up to me screaming.
From what my DS and my older DD who is 11 have told me. The same boy was playing with an electric bbq in the park and he and another boy turned it on... This boy then called my DS over and told him to touch the bbq it isn't hot. Well my DS did and it was hot . My DS received 2nd degree burns to his hand and wrist and we spent the rest of the afternoon in hospital.
How do I teach my DS not to listen to this kid and do I approach his mother about his behavior.She is a friend , although not a close one. My poor DS is very confused and says friends shouldn't hurt each other.
I'm not sure why he just follows, he does have Aspergers and I am not sure if this is part of it or if he is just one of those kids who follow what others tell him.
I am worried that even though this was very serious , next time may be worse again.
