[quote=Anonymous]it's kids learning op. They make mistakes and if the teachers hear it I'm sure they'll correct it. I know it is hard when you start seeing these kid squabbles but you'll find they are much smaller deals to the kids than you think at that age. They were all probably playing together within the hour or later that day. It sounds like you feel like this is "mean girls" starting early but that is basically putting your adult lens on what is really just toddler/preschooler behavior. I'm not saying it is good or ok, and the school SHOULD correct it. but don't take it to heart too much.

In the moment if you see it, you can say something. Gently - "hey girls, that isn't kind. Sounds like you all are playing a game together right now?" Help them learn other words for it.

If you want to talk to your daughter about it you can say something like this after school "sweetie I noticed some kids in your class are saying things like "you can't play with us", it's important to our family that we include friends whenever we play. Make sure you include all friends that want to play ok?" Help her learn your standards for that behavior without pinning the kids as bad kids or something because they likely aren't. [/quote]
