[quote=Anonymous]Please don’t say “mean girl.” Boys can be mean, too. It’s just mean kid. Your child is too young to navigate this on her own. You should absolutely bring it up with the other mom (and spouse, if applicable) and say that first grade is proving to be a lot for your kid, and she’s coming home upset about social interactions, and what is the other mom’s experience? It’s always better to pose things as questions. If she says she doesn’t know what you mean, you can say that your kid reported X and you didn’t understand what happened. If you are present for any of these negative interactions, speak up in the moment. The other kid may stop if she knows you know what is happening. It’s quite possible that the other girl is being mean to your kid because she’s having her own stress. Kind of like picking on a younger sibling. You can ask questions with a friendly expression and a sense of curiosity. Just say you don’t understand. -teacher[/quote]
