My dd is so upset that I have had to keep her off school about this. What is most confusing I suppose is that this is a child who was supposed to be her friend and who was here at our house at the weekend!
Everything was fine then, as far as I could see. Now this child, for no reason that we can work out has started actively trying to exclude my dd from games at break times and whispering to people that they should leave her out. She also shouts at my dd, snatches things off her and if my dd tries to stay away from her she goes up to her and tells her my dd is being mean and she's going to tell her mum on her. The class teacher seems to think it is not anything my dd has done and she can see what has been going on and has tried to address it.
Why on earth do children behave like this towards each other? And what can I do to help my dd? I know it's not a good idea to keep her off school for such a thing but it breaks my heart to see how depressed she is. She has psysiological reactions to things like this and is actually physically sick.
One more thing, are these issues easier to address in a state school where there are usually clearer guidelines these days about anti-bullying?
