My daughter is 10. She recently changed schools. She had a friend there she knew so a nice start. The first month went well but now the friends original ‘best friend’ doesn’t like my daughter and is making it known. I imagine she probably feels a bit threatened by a new friend coming in.
They have a kiddie friendly group chat which her class use so I let her join in the hope of fostering friendships but it seems this girl is using it to be very subtly mean to my daughter. Taking her out of group chats, snipping at her, etc.
it’s really bothering me, and I know it’s part of this age group, but the first month at the new school went so well I had high hopes and I feel really disappointed. My daughter doesn’t seem massively worried.
I wish these chats didn’t bother me so much but I’m finding myself checking it often.
Im torn between deleting the app and that’s the end of it, but worry this will isolate my daughter more, especially if this other girl is on there bad mouthing her. I don’t want her new friendships to be soured in her absence.
