My DD is 5 and a half years old. Very bright for her age, she is confident, talkactive and usually very happy.
Recently she has started a language class after school. The class is at a the teachers house with several other children, the teacher is very close (family member).
After a few weeks in I have noticed her change, when I pick her up she is reserved and quiet and not her usual bossy self (maybe tired). One incident surprised me, my younger DD took her book and instead of taking it off her in usual bossy style she sat and cried. Second incident she doesn't mention anything extra about the class and when I quizzed her further she said the DD of the teacher told us not to tell our family about anything.
My worry is, is she being bullied into keeping quiet and is someone being mean to her? She is adamant she can't tell me, on the other hand I did quiz her for ages so maybe she thinks it is a game.
I can approach the teacher but as its a family memeber I do not want to rock the boat. WWYD? Remove her from class? Approach the teacher? (Send her in with a recording device)?
She hasn't got a class till Monday now, so would like some replies. DH is saying it is all ok, but it's my gut screaming at me.
