Dd is 4.6 and has just started school. She is a pretty complex little thing - bright but is struggling socially I feel.
Today, she tells me that she has been in trouble for pinching another little girl and had to stand by the teacher's desk. I'm REALLY gutted . Really gutted. I know she can be bossy and stroppy with her peers (which I'm already worried about) but she's never been physical with other children.
Please could you experienced parents out there reassure me that this is a phase and how I can best deal with this?? I just feel like she's not going to have any friends at school and will turn into the child no one likes .
I'm currently on anti-depressants and don't know if I'm over reacting (I have a feeling I probably am).
