There is a kid in my daughter’s 2nd grade class, who seems to like to lie/embellish a bit about a lot of things. Some of the things he has said/done so far:
I was initially not very concerned, but over time, the things he says and does are extremely concerning to me. We are immigrants who didn’t grow up here, so we have no idea what’s normal and what’s not. I wanted to report the gun thing to his class teacher, but my wife is hesitant. She says he’s probably just joking around, and not to make this a big deal at school.
What do I do here? Please advise.

Be respectful of others’ parenting decisions.
Kids, especially 1st and 2nd graders lie a lot. But they need to be taught that joking about gun violence, and especially harming or killing others is not OK. The school needs to be alerted. He probably needs a short suspension and disciplinary action at home. Don’t keep that to your self.
