DD is 3.5yrs and attends nursery a few times a week. She regularly reports other little girls will make comments about her clothes/hair accessories, saying they're rubbish or going out of their way to tell DD that they dont like what shes wearing. I promise you, DD is very well dressed/well presented. She genuinely dresses really nicely for nursery and her hair is always clean and tied up neatly with nice hairbands etc
I went to an all girls school and am more than aware girls can be savage to each other (If anything this makes me even more aware of dressing her well to try and stop her being a target of bitchy comments), but regardless I am so shocked that this kind of nonsense is happening in nursery school!
She is so aware of it that she is fussy about what she wears now and pre-empts these kids being unkind, as an exmaple she had a Christmas outfit she loves but before wearing it to nursery started getting anxious saying she was worried what these kids would say about it.
She is a really friendly, kind kid who if anything is always complimenting other children so its not like shes said something mean and they have retaliated.
I've mentioned it to the nursery staff who have been lovely and said they will look out for it, but my question is whether this is normal in nursery schools and I shouldn't be shocked by it at their age???
