[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well the physical stuff was getting punched in the chest and dragging across the floor leaving bruises. The “rumors” part was telling the other girls not to play with DD and making it seem to the teachers that DD was the one who instigated rudeness. Anyways even if I want to go for coffee with the mom, she placed high value on our kids playing together. She’s also very protective of her kid. Now they aren’t the friendship is naturally watered down.

Maybe in a few months the kids can play nicely again. Her child is going to have to learn kindness.[/quote]

So she was never really a good friend, sounds like it was all about the kids being the same age and playing together. And it's not called "spreading rumors" its exclusion and is very common with girls in the early grades. My DD is in 2nd and deals with this all the time and has for years. The girls go back and forth with who they will play with and who they won't. This won't be the last time you experience it, it's very common in early elementary and probably beyond. Heck I remember experiencing it in grade school. Some things never change.[/quote]

True, but the physical part is definitely not common[/quote]

Years ago, it used to be.  During and after the pandemic, kids have really regressed in terms of bad behavior.  I wouldn't judge as much now as I would have before 2020.[/quote]
