[quote=Anonymous]Hi.   It's the OP.   First of all, I came back because I really do need the advice and I am willing to listen to a lot of ideas.  I also wanted to post so that this issue would not be swept under the rug because I doubt I am alone.  Therefore I am not a "troll" making this up.   Thank you so much to the amazing women who are supportive, nonjudgemental and gave such excellent advice.   Much of which I am absolutely going to use.   It's good to know besides a few mean spirited women, that there is a sisterhood among women that can be tapped even in cyberspace.

The reason I turned to the board to begin with is that the Mom of the child is a friend of mine and I do not want to ask mutual friends for advice because that isn't fair to the mother or the child. Even if true, it amounts to nasty gossip.  I care very much for both of them.  Our children know each other but not that well.   They ended up in the same class together by chance at a very large school.  So I did not "convene" a meeting with the parents.  It happened naturally.  The teacher reached out to me about the personality change, not the other way around, I saw what I saw on the playground (as did the hubby) but waited for my daughter to tell me what was up when she came home sobbing after I asked her what was wrong.

I volunteered because I am charge of all the volunteers.  It's what I was asked to do and I am happy to do it.   So I walk kids safely to the bus at the end of the day, open their Gogurts, wipe away tears when they are missing their Moms those first few days.  That's why I was there, not to smother my kids (there are two) but to help out.  Thankfully I was there because otherwise I may have missed the cues, time would have passed and I would be wondering what happened to my daughter who has always had tons of friends, lots of laughter and a healthy confidence.

Thank you for all of the advice and support.  I am taking many of these points to heart...the role playing, words to use, steps to take, the American girl book.   In fact, I will be going to Barnes and Nobles tonight to buy it.   :)   I am sure there are going to be more mean posters who hack me to bits, but they can have at it.    It says more about their character than mine.
