DD started reception this year. She has been suffering tummy aches and slight unwillingness to go in to school for a few weeks now. Last night she opened up to me about a girl in her class who has been bothering her in quite a covert way. Apparently she hurts DD (mostly pinching) and then laughs about it, snatches toys from her, pulls DD away from what she is playing with. DD has told teacher who says to walk away and ignore but apparently this girl wont let up and continues to follow her around. It feels like DD is being targeted as it this girl doesnt do the same to anyone else in the class.
Have tried to talk to teacher who seems very busy. We will snatch 5 mins this afternoon before she has meetings and then maybe tomorrow morning too (Id prefer more private time perhaps not infront of my daughter).
This seems so long away! I really want to be able to give my DD advice on how to deal with this ASAP.
Has anyone good advice or similar experiences?
DD has lots of friends in the class and has frequent playdates, she knows them well as 50% of the class were in her nursery at the same school.
Thanks in advance fellow mumsnetters!
