This started slowly when she was in reception, she always been very confident and outgoing girl, she still is popular at school but I'm noticing an increasing fear from her of being laughed at over the most silly things like not playing football very well - they just started an after school club- or not going until the end of the monkey bars. This morning as I was preparing her lunch bag, she saw me putting strawberries in a perfect normal kids container and she begged me to change containers as one of the girls, who she gets on very well with, was teasing her last time saying it was a baby container for baby food. I tried to explain to her that it didn't matter what the other girl says and tried to give her some tools to deal with this kind of behaviour but ended up changing the containers......so is it time to talk to the teachers yet? Is it normal for this age? And please give some tips on how to reinforce her self steem and how to equips her to deal with unwanted comments. TIA
