To tell the teacher about the boy touching DD's skirt?

[FitBitHelp]

I might sound crazy here so fully expecting to be told I'm BU.

But tonight DD (aged 5 - in reception class) told me that a boy in her class kept touching her skirt today. She said she asked him lots of times to stop but he wouldn't and he touched her skirt 5 or 6 times. It was when they were sitting on the carpet when the teacher was talking to them all. I'm guessing this is nothing to be concerned about with kids of that age but looking for advice from some more experienced mums. She's my eldest so I'm quite clueless with this sort of thing. Thanks.

Am a teacher and don’t quite understand the replies you’re getting here.

It bothered your daughter therefore it’s perfectly reasonable to let the teacher know tomorrow - a quiet ‘dd was a bit upset yesterday because x kept touching her on the carpet even when she’d asked him to stop, just wanted to make you aware in case she mentions it today’ is perfectly reasonable & the kind of thing I’d like to know as a teacher.

You say she told you. Was she bothered about it or was she just recounting it as part of her day?
If she was bothered I think this comes within the realms of something even a 5 year old can handle with advice from you. She needs to be able to get help for herself if someone is bothering her at school. So have a chat with her and see if she can come up with any ideas of what she could do about it. Even at 5 she may well come up with something like tell the teacher or sit by someone else next time (only if they don’t have their ‘spaces’ on the carpet obviously). Ecen from young I’ve always encouraged my kids to solve their own age appropriate problems where possible.

Okay, so from the replies I'm assuming that I'm being dramatic and there's no point really in passing this on. I'll have a chat to DD and hopefully build her confidence when it comes to telling the teacher. Thanks for all your replies
