[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry this is happening to your child. First of all, you must let the teacher know. Secondly, you need to tell your child that it is ridiculous to think that she is ugly, but sadly, some kids say mean things like that. Talk to her about why they might do that so she can try to understand it from an intellectual point of view and not an emotional point of view. This will help her remain calm and the mean kids won’t get the emotional reaction they want. Of course, tell her you totally know it was upsetting and emphasize that it is not okay at all. Then you work on how to respond with role-playing. Act the scenarios out with her and try out different responses so they can become second nature to her. At her age, I’d advise something along the lines of “That’s mean. Why would you say something like that?” and then walk away. Absolutely tell the teacher. -retired elementary teacher[/quote] Thank you! I am going to email the teacher. [/quote]
