[quote=Anonymous]My heart goes out to you.  My advice is to insist on a change in classroom or some other thing that will allow change.  My son was in a similar situation in the third grade.  He went from a happy, confident kid to a worried, nervous, unhappy wreck.  I didn't do enough.  I figured that the teachers and school would help and it would all take care of itself in a couple of weeks.

In our case, the school and teachers did try to help.  The bully so sneaky that he did most of the bullying (nothing physical -- just lots and lots of mental and verbal abuse as well as isolating my son) away from view.  I ended up pulling my son and putting him in private.  It took a full two years for him to regain his confidence.

I would talk to the other girl's parents (I didn't do this because I didn't want to be THAT mom making mountains out of molehills.  I still regret this the most).  Talk to the teacher.  Make an appointment ASAP with the school guidance counsellor and the school principal.  Be the squeaky wheel.

Last, talk to your daughter honestly and openly about what is happening.  Let her know that you see the behavior, that you understand her feelings, and that the behavior of the other child is unacceptable.  Talk to her about what you are doing on her behalf, but be honest about the fact that it may not eliminate the problem.  If you can, get some books on why other kids may be bullies.

Good luck!  Reading your post made me remember how bad things were for us.  On a positive note, my son is in a much better situation at the new school, he's thriving, and may have more empathy for others as a result of what he endured.  I still see the after effects, though, even now. [/quote]
