[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you probably shouldn't call the parents because it's true that this behavior is most likely learned at home. Which means that the parents are likely to be defensive and lash out at you or get angry and lash out at their daughter. Either way, unless you have a relationship with them and absolutely know what goes on in their home I wouldn't start there. If the problems are at school, raise them with the teacher, ask what the teacher's plan will be, give it a week to work, and then bring it to the principal. If the problem persists, they will bring the parents into it. It's close to the end of the school year, so if you only see this girl at school I would focus on your daughter. You and her teacher should agree on what you expect her to do when the other girl bothers her, communicate it to your daughter, and make sure she knows that this is what the teacher expects her to do. Then just work on it for now and let it be over the summer.[/quote] please...i hate advise like this... The parents may likely NOT KNOW that the kid is being mean...sometimes get into modes when they do this...give the parents a chance to KNOW ABOUT IT AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.. At least you can say u put them on notice about it... Geez.. Just practice your approach...."Hi...just wanted to give you a heads up about what's being going on between your doris and my susie... susie has said that lately doris has been a bit aggressive with her and will not take no for an answer when susie asks her to stop...has doris mentioned anything about their interactions? AND YES ASK THIS...CAUSE YOUR DD IS A KID AND THEIR ACCOUNTS ARE NOT PERFECT...PLUS IT SOUNDS LESS ACCUSATORY! I just wanted to let you know, just like I would want to know -- and see if there is anything we can do to improve their interaction. Let the folks respond.... Then end by saying thank you ...and as I said ...just wanted to give u a heads up. Now if the behaviour continues...then keep pressing forward with whatever the school protocol is... Otherwise...u have to act like an adult and deal with the other adults in the situation... I would certainly want to know if my kid is being mean[/quote]
