Dd is 9 and started at a new school in September. She and another new girl (A) struck up a friendship but dd quickly realized (by October) that this girl was not the friend she wanted. A wouldn't let dd speak or play with anyone else, wouldn't let her speak or contribute in joint tasks and even hit her in the face one day. I wrote to the teacher outlining a series of events and asked that they be kept apart in class. The teacher said he had heard from A's parents so I've got a feeling that dd is probably giving as good as she gets although positive that dd has done nothing to physically hurt A. It seems there is a huge personality clash although other girls in the class have had similar experiences with A.
Today, dds teacher asked dd and A what can be done to help them get along. Dd is upset because she wants nothing to do with A but couldn't tell the teacher as A was right there. I have told dd to ask to speak to her teacher in confidence and tell him she's not interested in being friends with A but I'm also surprised that the teacher she pushing the friends agenda. Any ideas? Dd is my eldest and I have no idea about this type of thing.....
