[quote=Anonymous]I’m wondering if this is an early manifestation of “mean girl” behavior. Mocking other people can be a way of elevating oneself or dealing with feelings of insecurity. Is there a way to explore whether your daughter feels socially comfortable? For developing empathy, I like teaching children to make apologies of action. Instead of just saying “I’m sorry,” I expect children to do something nice for the party they’ve upset. At school it can be helping to clean up after a cut-and-paste lesson or letting that person get a more favorable spot in line, for example.[/quote]
