she bottled it up for over a month but I suspected something wasn't quite right and tonight she finally opened up. The boy didn't say it directly but she heard from other children later (why the others felt the need to tell her is beyond me). She was in floods of tears and is feeling very upset. She is a very sensitive girl and takes everything very closely to heart. I did explain to her that in life there will always be people who we don't like and who don't like us, that she needs to become a bit more thick skinned, etc.
Just wondering if there is anything else I could do to raise her self esteem? Any help would be much appreciated
