[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're dealing with physically aggressive kids, then I don't understand why you would wait a few weeks to talk to the school.  If it's a case of some kids not being nice, then I think you might be overreacting.

Three- and four-year-olds are just figuring out friendship, so you get a lot of kids saying "You're not my friend" when what they mean is "I don't want to play with you right now" or "I'm mad that you won't do what I want."  That's totally normal, and not the same as "mean kid" behavior.

It really matters what you mean by "the treatment."  Three- and four-year-olds are rarely bullies or mean kids.  They are often immature, impulsive, and tactless.  [/quote]

Let me be specific

“ hey Larla is coming over” - said by alpha boy to group
“ quick everyone run away from her”- sidekick boy
( larla shell shocked look of rejection)
“ you stay away from us. We don’t want you” - little tag along girl 
Mocking laughter as they run away

Witnessed multiple times. I’ve tried to ignore but it’s getting worse. And the group of kids seems to be expanding. What started with the alpha boy is now 5-6 kids.[/quote]

I still don't understand exactly.  Are the children playing in a group after class?  It seems like an easy solution would be for you to take your DD straight to the car or straight home, rather than have her play for a few minutes after class.

I posted upthread about telling the teachers about this behavior.  You should do that.  You should also take charge of your DD and take her straight home instead of having her play with these kids, at least for the near future.  [/quote]
