[quote=Anonymous]I am one of the PPs who switched schools, but this was in high school. In 2nd grade, I’m not sure I would have done the same unless your DD is truly miserable and the situation seems intractable. Kids are still developing their social skills and dynamic at that age and things change from year to year. One thing to consider is what is the school’s response to your conversations about this? Do they have a plan in place to address these types of situations or is it just lip service? (My DD’s school was high school only, and there were really no concrete steps they took in these situations, other than lots of talk about sisterhood and no tolerance for bullying.)

The best advice we received during this time was to make sure our DD had many venues of friendship. We did a lot of things outside of school so she had lots of other friendships. She didn’t struggle in any of these other situations, so it also showed us that it was really the dynamic at school and not that DD was lacking social perception. (Which is something the school suggested.)[/quote]
