[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened with my DD last year in 1st (same pushy girl?). I talked to my DD about options, encouraged her to address it herself, and let her decide. She ended up talking to the pushy girl and nicely said that she still wanted to be friends but it wasn't ok to exclude others. Another girl chimed in too and then pushy girl was nicer after that. Fortunately they are not in the same class this year so much less drama.

Anyway, I strongly feel that situations like this are great opportunities for your child to learn coping skills. If you do talk to the teacher or counselor I'd ask them to help guide your child through the issue instead of just fixing it for them.

How do you think the teacher is going to fix it, exactly?  She's going to watch what happens and then make the girls talk about it and help them resolve it. Chances are the teacher is going to turn it into a learning experience, too. [/quote]

So she will bring them together and force the conversation? Or just coach the girls individually on how they should approach it? The pushy girl will know the teacher knows and adjust her behavior accordingly. It's best to let the kids deal with it themselves. [/quote]
