[quote=Anonymous]As a mom of a current 6yr old who volunteers in summer camps, please get this under control. There are a decent group of very mean girls that lack empathy, are bossy, and undermine authority in my child's school. I know one of the moms personally and in K she said it was transition issues. In 1st she said she is just just stubborn,  now in the summer before starting 2nd she is now saying she is strong-minded and what could be hard to deal with now will be a positive later in life.

This girl is so mean. She purposely breaks up friendships, she tells girls to leave the group, she says people and counsellors are stupid. It has gotten progressively worse as it is obvious her mom thinks this is a leader-in-the-making.

Don't get angry at your child OP. Don't make her feel like she is bad. Re-route her feelings into positives. Teach empathy, what the other child is feeling, how to handle her anger, how to socialize, how to make someone feel happy, feel included, etc... It can take a long time and a TON of patience. Ask play dates, camps, and schools to truly inform you of issues. Let other moms, teachers, counsellors know you are on their side and need their help. Whatever you do, don't justify it for anything. Not to her or anyone else. [/quote]
