[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's normal, but it's not kind and that's what you need to teach her.  It's normal for society to use others to get ahead but it's not right. [/quote]
It's not normal to me. How does a 7 year old learn to be that nasty? [/quote]

Op here. I guess I don’t think of those types of comments my DD made as extreme…? Unkind and rude, but not nasty.

Kids have told my kid they would kill her, that they won’t be her friend, she can’t play with them because she’s not a friend, or that her xyz is stupid and dumb. Not often, but I do hear comments like this. I don’t think any of those comments are ok. [/quote]

They're nasty. These kids make my kids upset and they come home and cry often. I've often wondered what parents would think if they heard how negative they are at school and how they kill the vibe for everyone but it's what I expected. "It's not that bad!" Yes, it is. These kids bring everyone down. Tell her to knock it off.[/quote]

My kid has come home crying and saying kids were mean or made mean comments (“Your hair looks dumb.”). I told her that wasn’t kind but that’s life and she needs to suck it up. By 1st or 2nd grade I expect kids won’t cry at these one off comments unless there’s a pattern or bullying going on. [/quote]
