[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a new girl in DD 7’s class. The girl is well-behaved around the teachers, but according to my daughter on the playground it’s a very different story. She explained that this girl walked up to her on the first day and said that if she didn’t give her candy, she would tell the teacher that my daughter wasn’t being nice to the new kid. DD guessed she was joking, but she’s kept it up every day since, apparently asking her every day at recess where her candy is. [b]DD is a rule follower to a fault and is absolutely petrified at the thought of being in trouble. I would alert the teacher of this but I don’t want to sound like a crazy, Karen, momzilla type of parent, because the teacher may take this out on my child[/b]. To be honest, the new girl’s actions don’t sound developmentally normal to me. What would you do?[/quote]

You're going to have to unlearn some pretty crazy beliefs, OP, to be a good parent to your child. No wonder your child is a hyper-anxious rule-follower - you seem hyper-anxious yourself and very afraid of being judged. Please realize this and try to address your anxiety and your child's. Learn to speak up and advocate for yourself and model this for your child. Good Lord. Of course you alert the teacher.
