[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Ok, so maybe I can mention the club thing to the teacher and she can talk to the kids in general about not having clubs?  Does that sound like a good idea?  It sounds like a good idea in my head, but so did asking DD to ask Mary to join them in recess (and that didn't fare to well).  [/quote]

OP, I think the first mistake was made when the other mom came to you instead of to the teacher. As a few other posters have mentioned, there are other kids this little girl could play with. It sounds like this child needs help connecting with other kids and probably the teacher would have some ideas about who might be a better fit. If your daughter and her friends are actually a good match, then the teacher can work on it (or talk to the school counselor to help, or whatever). If I were you I would go back to the teacher, say that you tried to help and it didn't work, could she look into the situation, find ways to help the little girl connect with someone socially, and then get in touch with you if she discovers that your daughter needs some specific feedback from you.

And, yes, tell her about the club thing. Let the school figure out if/how to address it. You can also say to your daughter, "Hey, that club thing sounds kind of mean." Why don't you guys just talk about that outside of school.[/quote]
