[quote=Anonymous]Yes, say "mean behavior". There will definitely come a day when your kid is accused of doing something bad, and you'll appreciate the difference then. And remember, you are hearing your DD's perspective, and her feelings are real and no doubt she's being as accurate as a young child can, but there may be more context that you don't have. You need to coach your DD to be appropriately assertive. It's a life skill that can only benefit her, and some kids need explicit practice so that they are comfortable using their skills in the moment. My DD, for example, said that she was telling other kids to stop, but when I observed the playground for a while, I realized she was only comfortable whispering "stop" after they had walked away. It was heartbreaking! But it wasn't an effective strategy and it was to her benefit that she practiced and learned to assert herself.[/quote]
