[quote=Anonymous]To play the devil's advocate, the teacher may have said "this student has trouble in....(subject).." verses this child is "troubled."  Basically tell DD that no matter what she does you love her unconditionally.  That she is a good person no matter how well or not she is at school, extra curricular activities.  She sounds like she is hard on herself already, is a people pleasing perfectionist.  Which I am!!  The best thing I started saying, when someone said something I do not like and hurt my feelings and I was being overly sensitive, is "I don't care."  And shrug my shoulders!  You can tell her it does not matter what people say or think she is still the same DD.  And that perhaps the teacher meant she was having trouble and not troubled.

I have stopped reacting to people who piss me off in an emotional manner, and it really diffuses the situation.  It took 40 years for me to learn to ignore people, and wow was mom right, when you ignore them they stop.  When I "act" like I don't care, but I really do, I actually start believing like I really do not care what they say.  Some people just suck!  She can tell her little friend that told her what the teacher said, that she miss heard them and they meant she has some trouble with that subject not that she is troubled.

Also no offense, but there are tons of teachers that respond to these posts.  We appreciate teachers!!  But understand we are moms who are trying to help our children.  I know teachers are doing their absolute best and such a profession is bound to lead to burn out, constantly giving and not getting the credit you deserve.  But teachers please be aware of all the power you hold over children.  It is amazing how much a teacher's acceptance can make a child, even a teenager, feel so accepted.  Also the teacher's acceptance, especially in younger grades, has the power to change the class's perception of a child.  I am just saying teacher's have tremendous power.  So that being said, let's buy our teachers some generous gift cards this season![/quote]
