I overheard my 7YO DD playing with two of her friends. For the most part they were just lovely imaginative games but at one point they all started mocking this other girl who goes to their school and calling her a name (this girls wasn't there, so not mocking her to her face, but I feel they probably have done). I realised this is not the first time that they had used this name on her (an animal, as a way of describing a particular physical featured of this girl).
I didn't intervene because it was over quickly but when her friends left, I sat my DD down and had a chat about being unkind, gossiping and hurting others feelings. She took it on board and we read this book together: www.amazon.co.uk/Maybe-Right-Wrong-Dan-Barker/dp/0879757310/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420276970&sr=8-1&keywords=maybe%20right%20maybe%20wrong&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21
I would like to find more relevant literature on friendship, kindness, values (nothing religious) accepting others, having other people's feelings in mind.... So far I have found books more relevant to KS1 aged children. My DD is a very strong reader and could do with something more sophisticated than '10 acts of random kindness' type books.
Anyway, I'd love to hear your recommendations of you have any. Many thanks.
