I am told my son was about 90% or more of that kids focus. My son is very popular with all of the other kids and always gets a lot of attention from them. The bully kid was on the other end of the spectrum. He was always negative, mean and not open to "playing well" with the other kids. I am told that most of the kids in the class "gravitate to my son". (teachers words). In her opinion the bully targeted my son since he was the focus of positive attention by classmates. I guess the bully was trying to get attention himself and thought by picking on my son it would work. And in a way it did. He got a lot of negative attention. But it is still attention.
