[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I don't know if you are still reading this, but the "mean girl" attitude starts early.  You have to teach your DD to stand up for herself.  I know it's hard.  I have a 6 yr old DD.  If this happened to her, I would be saddened, too.   The teacher is aware, so hopefully the teacher can have a discussion with all the kids about social inclusion.  I know of a 2nd grade teacher that had  to talk to all the girls in the class about social bullying.  This is all part of the socialization that kids have to learn in K.

Teach your DD to speak up.  ESs usually has a mantra about how to handle conflict. Use that.  Role play with your DD.  You be the "mean girl".  I've spoken to my DD about how to speak up for herself.  Say, "you are hurting my feelings.".. "that's not nice."  I don't know if that works, but it does teach your child to speak up for herself and be less intimidated.

Good luck.[/quote]

Of course this doesn't work. The mean girls knows full well she is not being nice and is hurting the other child's feelings. That's why she's doing it, to state the obvious.[/quote]

PP here.. I know that some times saying these things don't stop the bullying.  Speaking up is more about standing up for yourself rather than trying to stop the other person.  You will never be able to change the other person.  You can only teach your child how to handle it.[/quote]
