[quote=Anonymous] I would treat this as a "teachable moment." I would tell her you are glad she told you about this and ask her how she feels inside when she talks about another child this way and mimics him. If she's clueless, let her know why this is inappropriate, unacceptable and cruel. I would also tell her we are all different in some ways and alike in other ways. Tell her once again that we need to treat everyone with respect. I would also encourage her to try to get to know her classmate as a person. If she says "he can't do blah blah" then suggest that she cheer him on or maybe ask him if he wants help. Remind her she has things she can't do too. Ask her how she felt when she was first learning something. [/quote]
