[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teacher has contacted us for the second time in a week reporting mean behavior from our 1st grade daughter. I have no doubt that the behavior happened. I've seen her do similar (though not as egregious) behavior in front of me. We met with the teacher and I really like her approach and respect her as an educator.

What can I do about my daughter's cruelty and lack of empathy in dealing with her classmates? Her lack of remorse once called on said behavior? Her defiance toward her teacher?

We try hard to teach empathy. We call her on her misbehavior at home. She's an only child. She's not yet 7. I'd especially love to hear from parents who've dealt with similar and found a way to change their child's behavior. Right now I feel like coming down on her like a ton of bricks but I also know that that could backfire. [/quote]

OP, how could coming down on her with strong consequences backfire?  She is 6 years old!

You lay on the punishment and lay it on hard. This behavior will not be tolerated. Period. If she pushes back, you push harder.[/quote]

+1. Nip it in the bud now. No negotiating. Behavior is unacceptable.[/quote]
