[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The girls need to sort this out on their own. It can't hurt to check in with the teacher, especially if you think seating arrangements should be changed. It's hard to watch your kid struggle, but this is life. Talk openly with your daughter and let her do the same. Let her know that yes, the other girl's behavior is awful, but try to help her figure out how to deal. I do role-plays with my 2nd grader to help her practice how she wants to approach this kind of thing, and she seems to find that helpful.[/quote]

Life is tough. It's very helpful to learn how to deal with these things early on. There are no parents around to fix your problems at your first job, there are no "safe spaces." [/quote]

But she should reach out for help and support (as she has done) and report wrong doers to people in authority. I keep thinking about that poor firefighter woman. Why did she suffer alone?[/quote]

There's a difference between bullying and drama. Bullying should be reported and the school should step in. IMO, drama is something kids need to learn to navigate and it gets best resolved when kids know how to stand up for themselves.[/quote]
