[quote=Anonymous]It starts early. For both of my kids, it started in K. My DD is now in 1st and it's relentless. I don't have a problem with someone saying "I don't want to play with you" because we've taught our kids not to take it personally. Sometimes kids simply won't want to play with you, so find something else to do (shout out to Daniel Tiger for the catchy little song on this topic). But there is a lot of really mean language, exclusion, "clubs" where the leader dictates who gets to join, gossiping about classmates, Queen Bee stuff happening. I know young kids are still learning how to engage with others, and some are picking it up from older siblings/cousins/neighbors, but I also blame the parents. Something has changed with parenting and/or society where this type of behavior isn't being quashed in kids at home. I do not remember it being this bad this early when I was growing up. [/quote]
