Hi there, I wondered if anyone has had similar experience to me, and how you resolved it? Alternatively, AIBU and will my interfering make matters worse?
My 6 year old is a very pleasant, happy little girl. This has been confirmed by teachers, nursery staff etc. She is well liked, and has always had a lot of friends and has been popular with other mums too.
She is best friends with a little girl who is often nice, but also has a mean side. For example, she once hit my daughter and I have seen her trying to stop her playing with the other girls. At parents evening the teacher said to me that I should try to encourage my daughter to move away from this friend and to play with others, which I took as a really strong message coming from a teacher. The supervisors at after school club have also said the same thing to me.... So I have some confirmation that this is not all in my mind!
Further to this, I am really uncomfortable with the level of supervision when my daughter goes to play at the friends house. They are allowed to play out at the front of the house without an adult, which I would never allow at home. The little girls parents seem to have different values to me, and I am sure that these differences will only get more difficult as the girls get older.
I have spoken to my daughter, who is very loyal to her friend and insists that everything is OK. I am not convinced, and I am thinking of asking the school if my daughter could change classes to get some distance from this girl. AIBU?
