it ' s just a prank bro <| sep |> You need to be your child ' s advocate all the time . He ' s only 5 , is being silenced by an adult in an authoritative position , and he ' s reaching out to you to support him . Not to sound harsh but you don ' t need her perspective your son is merely telling kids inconvenient facts in a typical matteroffact 5 yo manner . Nothing wrong with that , even if it makes her and some kids uncomfortable . Your son is a hero among cowards . Our son now 7 , but was 6 when it happened had a similar situation and my wife quickly and carefully got his K 1 teacher up to speed she also brought in two vegan childrens ' picture books that specifically step through all the reasons for being vegan , in big glossy art on every page . It opened her eyes , and she soon started to see how our son was considerate and compassionate beyond what she ' s ever seen other kids , and our relationship with her blossomed from there .
