[quote=Anonymous]Your niece might be on the border age-wise, but my DD really liked the Chrissa movie from American Girl. It focuses on bullying. DD was in K or 1st grade when she first watched it, and still watches it occasionally in 3rd grade. Supporting her interests, whatever they might be, will also help boost her confidence. Support can be as simple as skyping or calling her regularly to ask about her art/sports/academics, etc. It can also be making sure she has the supplies she needs for those items. Sounds like she is getting rude comments about her clothing. Do you have a feel for whether that is just because she doesn't wear the "it" brands, or because her clothes are horribly out of step with what other kids are wearing? Slightly different challenges. Some books or magazines that focus on how to create your own style might help. And see if you can reinforce the idea that style is not dependent on name brands. [/quote]
