DD told me a couple of weeks ago she was being picked on, by one specific child. It has apparently been going on since the start of Juniors, but she has been trying to ignore it. It takes the form of constant name calling, plus a lot of physical things - poking, hair pulling, tripping up. Nasty things, but that don't leave marks .
DD has lots of friends, but it is just this one child who has it in for her. It seems to be escalating and DD has had enough. We have been into school, and they have talked with us and her and others in their class, and a plan has been put in place. However, how long do we leave it for the plan to take effect??
Knowing this other child as I do, I suspect she will not easily be stopped, and she is very good at manipulating those around her. I do not imagine for one second this child will be removed from class, so it will have to be my DD if it doesn't stop. DD finally told us after this child spread it round the rest of the class that DD had been adopted because her real mother thought she was so ugly she had given her away, and then pushed her chair leg onto DD's toe in class .
I don't want to let this girl win, but how long can I let me DD deal with this day in day out?
