[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't know the situation or why the other child is like this. If she's not actively being mean to your child, let it go. [/quote]

Op here… ignoring another kid when they try to talk to you IS mean. I would not be pleased if my child did that. My DD has been visibly upset about it a couple of mornings.

For context, this girl doesn’t have special needs and seems to have several friends in the grade. [/quote]

It is not mean.  Social situations can be crippling for some people.  Maybe she’s known the other kids since birth.[/quote]

Ignoring people is mean. What you are saying is that it might not be intentional. Which is fine, maybe it isn't.

But saying "oh this isn't rude" or "this isn't mean" is a form of gaslighting. Reaching out to someone who you know saw you and knows you are, and having them pretend you are not there? That's definitely mean. Doesn't mean you have to dissolve into a puddle of tears or hate them forever, but yes, ignoring people is mean.[/quote]
