DD 5, year 1, has a problem with another girl in the class. They're next to each other in line and it seems the other girl pokes & prods my DD throughout line up & assembly. Annoying but nothing too awful (although I say that, that would actually drive me nuts).
Over the past few weeks I've had little stories about the girl kicking/pinching at playtime if my DD says something she doesn't like or won't play the game my DD is playing. I've taken these with a pinch of salt as i know what playgrounds are like, I've told her to walk away/tell a teacher/yell No very loudly....all the things that I feel like I must say to her (although very tempted to say pinch her back, twice as hard....but I know my DD and she just wouldn't). My DD has friends and otherwise seems confident at school.
This evening she was whispering to her Doll and I overheard her saying she wished that this little girl would stop hurting her :-( heart strings! So we've had a talk about it as the main reason I haven't done anything so far is that they do play together and I know they work together nicely in the classroom. Is this just tittle tattle? I dont think so, it just seems spiteful and sneaky.
I only know the Mum to say Hi to so not sure how to approach this with her, or not at all. I have penned a note (A4 letter!) for her teacher to see if my DD can be
moved in the line so hasn't got someone in her
personal space during that time. Do you think that is acceptable to ask? Or speak to the Mum?
