My 6yo has just come home from school and told me that at dinner time she was sat at the table alone and a new boy came to sit with her. In her words 'he had a small bent around arm with little bumps instead of fingers'. They are her words, not mine!
She said she left the table and went and sat somewhere else because it made her feel funny. Without chastising her I've told her that it wasn't very nice to leave the new boy alone since he is new and probably hasn't made many new friends yet but I have told her that I will speak to about it more after her sisters have gone to bed.
I know that she needs to know that it isn't acceptable to be mean whether it is intentional or not, I just don't know the right words to use and I need to get this right. Please help!
