[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP-

I haven't read through all of the responses, but this is my take on it as the mom of a 3rd grade DD and a former school counselor.

Journal what happens (dates, time, as many details as you know).

Ask DD about her day in general. I ask DD "what was your rose and what was your thorn?"

Be careful of leading questions. Let her disclosure be somewhat organic rather than asking, "What did Larla do to you today?"

Look for the American girl book http://www.amazon.com/Stand-Yourself-Your-Friends-Bossiness/dp/1593694822. My DD dealt with this in K and this gave her tools and words to use in different situations

Email the school counselor and copy the teacher (with the basics of what's been happening). The bully may already be a frequent flier in the counselor's office.

Role play with your daughter. "What would you say if. . . "

As a  counselor I would work with the teacher to find out when and what is happening and strategies to minimize contact.

Try to be patient and understanding while keeping track of what's happening. It can take a while for the bullying to subside or end. do what you can to be supportive trying not to bash the little terror.

Good luck!![/quote]
