Earlier this week I posted about my 4 year old DDs problems with eating lunch at school - basically she has been crying and saying there is not enough time to eat her lunch. She also insisted that I should give her less in her lunch box (it really wasn't that much in the first place).
Anyway, the situation has escalated. Today she ate only a couple of rice cakes for lunch and nothing else. At home tonight she was crying and saying she doesn't want to go to school because she has no time to eat her lunch, etc. I probed her further and it finally came out that the TA from the other reception class told her off for not eating her lunch and then told her there was no more time to eat the rest of it. DD said that the TA was "mean" to her and she is scared of her.
I know children do twist things, but DD is very good natured and friendly and has been cared for by lots of different people since she was a baby and this is the first time she has had such a strong reaction to someone.
I need to talk to the school tomorrow morning about the whole lunch situation, but I am not sure I can say anything about the TA.
How do I handle this?
