[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't pretend anymore that the mean, rude questions kids ask about her (as if she's not even there) are some sort of gateway to friendship for her.  It's dishonest, both kids know it's not building friendship, and it doesn't defend and protect my daughter.

I'm talking about mean kids coming up to us at the pool and asking rude and confrontational questions about her condition, obviously without the intent of friendship.

Kid:  What is wrong with her?  (sneer on face)
Me:  Her name is Larla!  What's your name?
Kid:  unsure (Larlo)  Why is she so small?
Me:  Just because!  Do you like to swim?  
Kid dashes away

Meanwhile, my kid is hanging her head in shame.  I just can't take this anymore.  My husband thinks I should tell the kids to go f*&^ themselves.  I don't want to do that.  But I really think this is not protective of my daughter and she knows damn well these kids are not coming in friendship and to try to pretend this is some sort of friendly encounter does her a disservice.

Does anyone have a strategy about this?

How about:

Kid:  What is wrong with her?  (sneer on face)
You:  Go Away (said with a sneer on your face)[/quote]
