[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid doesn't have special needs and has friends but they are painfully shy.  I think if you don't have a kid like this you just don't understand how hard it is for an introverted or shy kid to talk with anyone.  She isn't doing anything mean, and you can tell your daughter to say hello to people just to say hello (like I might do on a walk) and that it is ok if this girl is different.

You keep labeling her as unfriendly, and now in your last post say mean.  She may just take time to warm up to people.

It shouldn't grind your gears so bad that you and your kid are wrapped up in how the kid doesn't like her  (which you could help frame it differently )  and you make a post about a young child on the DCUM board.

Oh, please. OP says they’ve known each other for years. “Take time to warm up to people?” You open your mouth and say “hi” back. If you can’t manage that for some absurd reason, you raise a hand and wave.

Stop coddling rude behavior. [/quote]

Um, I wrote the post you responded to.  I responded to the original post.  NOWHERE in it does op say they've known each other for years.

THE KIDS ARE 8 YEARS OLD- knowing each other for years can mean a lot of different things.  They're 8.

The other kid is standing at the top of her driveway away from OP kid to wait for the bus.  Everything I wrote could be true.  If you don't have a kid who is shy, you wouldn't understand.

Of course, I don't know why this 8 year old is doing this, but to see people on her label her a "b" and talk about how awful she is when all she has done is not said hello while waiting for the bus ?  Why the hatred.  What are you all teaching your kids?  Maybe they should learn to read social cues, and 3/4 thru the school year stop obsessing over a random kid at a bus stop.

I still can't believe the way OP is so hyped up about this and plenty of other mothers are on her behalf.  Take a breath.  You're talking about an 8 year old you don't know.
