Basically, she was all pensive in the car on the way back from school. Asked what was wrong - 'nothing'. When we got home she said 'I hate Ixxx'.. I asked why.
Apparently this child had told two children that 'A was fat because she keeps eating cows'. I asked why cows. 'Because they're big, mummy, and it went round the whole class'.
A is the biggest in her class, but I think at 6 this ought to be nipped in the bud. Or do you think that making an issue of it will make it worse? After all, if one child can say it, so can another. I'm distraught for her. I spent my whole childhood as a fat child, ostracised, and I don't want the same for her.
Please let me know what you think - she's such a lovely, loving girl.
BTW, she hardly eats anything - her younger sister eats far more, so I'm sure it's not anything I'm doing wrong.
TIAX
