[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the moms crapping all over the kids for developmentally appropriate behavior any better? If their kids were the queen bee, they’d be fine with it. [/quote]

No they wouldn’t.  My daughter would be in a lot of trouble if I found out that she was singling out other kids and teasing them or I found a note making fun of one of the girls in her class.  I don’t know very many people who would be fine with it.

[b]This. I have absolutely caught my DD engaging in relational aggression and we address it immediately.[/b]

Also, the idea that "queen bee" behaviors are developmental appropriate is a bit off. This behavior is not uncommon in elementary age kids, and it's something a lot of kids try out at an early age as they attempt to resolve social issues. But that doesn't mean it's inevitable or that all kids have to go through this phase. It's what's called "maladaptive" behavior. That doesn't mean all kids who do it are bad kids (I don't think of kids as good/bad). But it does mean that when it crops up, it needs to be addressed and is not likely to just go away on its own without some kind of intervention that provides that kid with better solutions to social issues.[/quote]
