[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither. I would work on building up your daughter's skills of speaking up for herself and her friends and not letting anyone boss her around.[/quote]

[b]Not just this, but also talk about moral courage, and about what she should do when she sees this happening to someone else.

OP, I would only step in if you felt like your daughter is specifically being targeted and ganged up on.

This does not sound like the case. It sounds like she has some potential allies if she has some skills and confidence.

And she has a mom who listens to her and gives her love and moral support. That is worth more than any conversation with the teacher. Send the message to her with your behavior that you know she is resilient and can cope but that it's normal to feel bad when people are a-holes.[/quote]

This is something I teach my kids are part of teaching them about life, even if everything is fine for them. If they see someone being mean, keep that information tucked away for future use. Not only do I not want them to have mean people as friends -- even if they are nice to my DC -- but they are likely to turn on you sooner or later. Just not the kind of people I want my kids to get used to being around or choosing as friends.[/quote]
