[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6 yo DD will ask kids if she can join their game, but based on her self-reports, gets turned down fairly regularly. The first two weeks of K she was almost always told there was no more space in the game for other kids. Anyone else experience this? She's not socially odd or off that I've noticed, has had good friends in preschool, etc. [/quote] At this age, I think the adults in the room need to facilitate inclusive play. When my kids were that age, there were recess monitors who made sure kids were being kind and playing with different groups of kids. Saying there is no more space is a passive aggressive way for the group to exclude your daughter. Kids at this age need a lot of modeling and positive reinforcement on how to be kind. During my kid’s time in Prek and K, I contacted the teachers exactly one time (kids were using each other’s water bottles), so I’m not one to rush to ask for teacher intervention. But in this case, I would. [/quote]
